0:43
Speaker 1: head on over to fifty five car seed dot com
0:45
Speaker 1: and check it out if you can't get a chance
0:47
Speaker 1: to listen. A lot podcast page coming up at fifty
0:49
Speaker 1: five Carce Morning Show. Jeez, I got the whole thing
0:51
Speaker 1: backload at eight o'clock hour. I don't have a single
0:53
Speaker 1: guest until eight oh five, and then I got like
0:56
Speaker 1: nine of them along with a warning from Streker when
1:00
Speaker 1: I woke up this morning on text, got to be
1:04
Speaker 1: painfully aware that the eight o'clock hours packed, so don't
1:07
Speaker 1: screw around. So I will endeavor not to screw around. Joe,
1:11
Speaker 1: just be kind of cool if one of those could
1:13
Speaker 1: have been of the seven o'clock hour. But whatever, inside
1:15
Speaker 1: scoop at Brightbart News, it is Tuesday. Bry Barton News
1:18
Speaker 1: Border News Director Brandon Darby are going to be doing
1:21
Speaker 1: an Empower Youth seminar tonight seven pm. Poweruamerica dot Org
1:25
Speaker 1: for that. Got a lot of immigration news in the
1:28
Speaker 1: stack this morning. Daniel Davis steved I have plenty to
1:32
Speaker 1: talk about with Daniel Davis, retired lieutenant colonel, usually talking
1:34
Speaker 1: about war, but we've got this Security Council, the UN
1:38
Speaker 1: Security Council actually embracing the Donald Trump proposal, with China
1:42
Speaker 1: and Russia not vetoing it. What let's see here. France
1:51
Speaker 1: President of Manuel Macron has agreed over the next decade
1:54
Speaker 1: to allow Ukraine to purchase, which is an interesting word.
1:58
Speaker 1: Does Ukraine even have an economy anymore? Anyway, purchase around
2:01
Speaker 1: one hundred fighter jets along with their associated weapons again
2:05
Speaker 1: over the next decade, suggesting that maybe this might have
2:09
Speaker 1: some measure of leverage for negotiating peace. I doubt it,
2:15
Speaker 1: just my initial reaction anyway, And of course Ukrainians still
2:18
Speaker 1: demanding Tomahawk mischills as the Russian forces intensify and take
2:22
Speaker 1: over more Land. Topics to deal with with Daniel Davis
2:25
Speaker 1: at eight thirty, followed by eight forty Dan Claire Communications
2:28
Speaker 1: director for Disabled American Veterans finding jobs for disabled vets.
2:32
Speaker 1: You can do that, and finally asked the expert. We
2:34
Speaker 1: got John Roman from cover since he at the tail
2:36
Speaker 1: end of the program, stuffed into the last five minutes,
2:41
Speaker 1: and if I don't have a well welled eight o'clock hour,
2:46
Speaker 1: John may not get any time. Which is the challenge
2:50
Speaker 1: five one, three, seven, nine, fifty five hundred, eight hundred
2:53
Speaker 1: and eighty two to three talk pound fight fifty on
2:55
Speaker 1: at and T phones. I'd never been to a bourbon
2:57
Speaker 1: distillery tour, and I know you don't care, but I
2:59
Speaker 1: thought it was rather interesting if you're looking for something
3:01
Speaker 1: to do. Obviously, the bourbon trail is just right in
3:03
Speaker 1: the Greater Cincinati backyard and had a really cool It
3:07
Speaker 1: was cool. Not a huge bourbon guy, you know, kind
3:11
Speaker 1: of developing my bourbon taste, but just seeing the distillery.
3:14
Speaker 1: We went to Castle and Key Distillery, and the story
3:17
Speaker 1: behind that place is just absolutely amazing. The number of
3:21
Speaker 1: years of the different ownerships over the time, the fact
3:23
Speaker 1: that it was bought in the early it was around
3:26
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, so the place hasn't been fully up in
3:29
Speaker 1: operational for that long. It was a dilapidated twenty four
3:33
Speaker 1: building complex that had previously operated as a distillery. All
3:37
Speaker 1: of the building's roofs had been deteriorated and they were gone,
3:41
Speaker 1: so waters coming in all over the place. Kudzeus go
3:43
Speaker 1: to run the whole thing. Some visionary decided he was
3:46
Speaker 1: going to turn it back into a distillery, and wow,
3:49
Speaker 1: what an amazing business turnaround. It's one of the top
3:53
Speaker 1: distillery tours I think in the world, if I remember
3:56
Speaker 1: the notes correctly from our private tour, was really exceptional,
4:01
Speaker 1: and props to my friends. We all went. It was
4:03
Speaker 1: three couples, just had a really amazing time. I say
4:07
Speaker 1: that because it was an interesting manufacturing process, and the
4:15
Speaker 1: love and the labor that goes into manufacturing that bourbon,
4:18
Speaker 1: and the amount of time it has to sit around
4:19
Speaker 1: before you can even sell it is it's just really remarkable.
4:23
Speaker 1: So consider doing that if you like seeing manufacturing operations
4:26
Speaker 1: generally speaking, even if you're not a Bourbon fan. Like
4:28
Speaker 1: I said, it's right there. It took us an hour
4:30
Speaker 1: and a half to get to Frankfurt. So there you
4:33
Speaker 1: have it. Over to the General Trump rallying the Security
4:36
Speaker 1: Council on Gaza. This is really an interesting development. Maybe
4:39
Speaker 1: the United Nations isn't as useless as it so often shows.
4:43
Speaker 1: They write on Monday, Security Council endorsed President Trump's twenty
4:45
Speaker 1: point piece plan for Gaza, ratifying for the first time
4:48
Speaker 1: the requirements that Hamas disarm and that Gaza be demilitarized.
4:56
Speaker 1: Not exactly a big popular thing for the Hamas folks,
4:58
Speaker 1: but this is where they've been back into the court
5:00
Speaker 1: or the resolution pass thirteen to nothing, Russia and China abstained.
5:06
Speaker 1: Maybe worthy the US jaunt the Security Council would come
5:09
Speaker 1: at a price of bending the peace plans terms for
5:13
Speaker 1: Hamas or adding anti Israeli terms e g. Wood Francis,
5:17
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Macrone, elbow his way to the deal's implementation with
5:20
Speaker 1: Russia and China, transform the Trump initiative to another UN
5:23
Speaker 1: peacekeeping boondoggle. Nope, not this time, and credit goes to
5:28
Speaker 1: Trump and you, Ambassador Mike Wallas, apparently for flexing US
5:31
Speaker 1: diplomatic muscle, which, at least the Journal credits were the
5:34
Speaker 1: only reason that this text, which detracts nothing from the
5:37
Speaker 1: original Trump twenty points, could get through. Waltz calls it
5:41
Speaker 1: the most pro Israel Security Council resolution in decades, comically
5:47
Speaker 1: noting by the Journal that's a low bar. But consider
5:50
Speaker 1: the point. This resolution doesn't pretend there is currently a
5:54
Speaker 1: Palestinian state. It doesn't demand a risky Israeli withdrawal from
5:59
Speaker 1: the WESTBND in East Jerusalem at the expulsion of every
6:02
Speaker 1: Jew living there. It doesn't prejudice negotiations by specifying final
6:08
Speaker 1: borders on nineteen sixty seven lines. And it doesn't condition
6:13
Speaker 1: progress in Gods on the creation of a Palestinian state,
6:16
Speaker 1: which it treats instead as a highly contingent event of
6:20
Speaker 1: its own. Hmm, what does that mean? The resolution, like
6:24
Speaker 1: Trump's twenty point plan, says, if the Palestinian authority undergoes
6:28
Speaker 1: a stringent course of reform and deradicalization laid out by
6:33
Speaker 1: Trump in his first term quote, the conditions may finally
6:37
Speaker 1: be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self
6:41
Speaker 1: determination and statehood. In other words, the time to talk
6:46
Speaker 1: about statehood is when such a state would cease to
6:49
Speaker 1: be a mortal threat to Israel. You know, I'm just
6:52
Speaker 1: kind of reminded of the Abraham Pieterer gorge. Why don't
6:54
Speaker 1: we all try to play along nicely together for our
6:55
Speaker 1: own benefit? You know, the world's moving forward. We could
6:58
Speaker 1: all be this massive economic powerhouse. We just quit shooting
7:03
Speaker 1: at each other. Resolution authorizes Israel's presence in Gaza in
7:11
Speaker 1: a Gaza buffer zone more and more correctly, and conditions
7:14
Speaker 1: the Palestinian authorities administration of Gaza until it can securely
7:18
Speaker 1: and effectively take back control of Gaza. It should be
7:23
Speaker 1: understood as a requirement that the Palestinian authority be capable
7:26
Speaker 1: of restraining a moss and wanted by the people of
7:28
Speaker 1: Gaza it isn't currently, rather than parachuted in and imposed
7:32
Speaker 1: upon them. It all sounds sensible, and it doesn't sound
7:36
Speaker 1: like the UN, which in September was saying the exact
7:39
Speaker 1: opposite via a non binding General Assembly resolution. That was
7:43
Speaker 1: when pressure on Israel is at its peak, but no longer.
7:46
Speaker 1: Monday Bloomberg headline declared Israel is a market's favorite. Germany
7:52
Speaker 1: also lifted its partial arms embargo. Israel defense firms are
7:56
Speaker 1: racking up record deals to export abroad. Yes, no longer
8:01
Speaker 1: any embargoes or sanctions against Israel. Everybody started to play
8:04
Speaker 1: along nicely again. The way to tell the UN has
8:06
Speaker 1: done something out of character is that Hamas has issued
8:10
Speaker 1: a statement condemning the resolution, in particular Harmasa announced quote.
8:14
Speaker 1: The Palestinian factions also stress their rejection of any clause
8:19
Speaker 1: related to disarming Gaza. They're not on board Israel leader
8:25
Speaker 1: Benjamin that Nowho and mister Trump are no longer the
8:27
Speaker 1: only ones insisting on that. In other words, the disarming
8:32
Speaker 1: by not disarming amasa's in continuing breach of the agreement,
8:36
Speaker 1: holding up the reconstruction of Gaza and the rest. Now
8:41
Speaker 1: the end with the question is what Trump is willing
8:43
Speaker 1: to do about it if phase two of his plan
8:45
Speaker 1: isn't working. They suggested in the Bravery to call it quits,
8:49
Speaker 1: as the peace processors of old never could. But it's
8:53
Speaker 1: a great development. I would think I have zero faith
8:56
Speaker 1: in the UN. I'm on record a million times wondering
8:59
Speaker 1: why the hell we continue to involve ourselves with it
9:02
Speaker 1: when it seems to be merely an arm of propping
9:05
Speaker 1: up terrorist organizations like Hamas. Certainly no friend of the
9:10
Speaker 1: United States. I mean, if you think of all the
9:11
Speaker 1: third world countries and how the UN is made up
9:14
Speaker 1: a little bit jealous of our success, just as Scooch,
9:19
Speaker 1: there is that out there in the world. But I
9:21
Speaker 1: haven't in my lifetime, I really haven't seen the UN
9:23
Speaker 1: accomplished much at all. And noting the number of genocides
9:26
Speaker 1: that have gone on in the world, I think about
9:28
Speaker 1: President Bill Clinton in the genocide in Africa, and oh
9:32
Speaker 1: my god, I really wish I could have done something
9:33
Speaker 1: about the three hundred thousand people slaughtered. And I always
9:36
Speaker 1: ask back then, where in the hell is the UN.
9:37
Speaker 1: Aren't they supposed to be in a position to do
9:39
Speaker 1: something about these challenges in the world. Nope, always seem
9:42
Speaker 1: to fail us. But they are more than willing to
9:44
Speaker 1: take our check to keep the place open and running.
9:48
Speaker 1: So we'll see if this holds. But you know, in
9:51
Speaker 1: terms of foreign policy, you can hate Donald Trump all
9:54
Speaker 1: day long. And I am still taking a standoff approach
9:57
Speaker 1: on this nonsense going on with us in Venezuela. Considering
10:01
Speaker 1: there's been no congressional action, no authorization to use the
10:04
Speaker 1: military force. Is he getting into a war without a
10:06
Speaker 1: declaration of war? All that bothers me and concerns me
10:09
Speaker 1: by way of foreign policy. But in so far as
10:11
Speaker 1: Middle East foreign policy is concerned, and if it may
10:16
Speaker 1: not be perfect, but I would argue with significant progress.
10:20
Speaker 1: First term demonstrated that with the Abraham Accords, and the second
10:23
Speaker 1: term is demonstrating that as well. So keep your fingers
10:26
Speaker 1: crossed and you're in my lifetime. We may very well
10:29
Speaker 1: see some sort of resolved peace in the Middle East. Yeah.
10:33
Speaker 1: I know that's a big, big, big ask, but maybe
10:37
Speaker 1: at least we're in a position to be somewhat optimistic
10:39
Speaker 1: about it given these current developments five sixteen. Right now,
10:41
Speaker 1: feel free to call. I don't have anything in particular
10:43
Speaker 1: to dive on into coming up to do you with
10:45
Speaker 1: the stack of stupid local stories? Oh look, speed bumps
10:47
Speaker 1: on Glenway Avenue right outside of Price Hill, Chilli west side, Jim,
10:51
Speaker 1: what do you think about that?
10:54
Speaker 3: Oh?
10:54
Speaker 1: It is buch. Is this new of Buckingham Cut Corporation's
11:00
Speaker 1: trast which is described as the largest project in over
11:02
Speaker 1: the line? Is this what connected communities is all about?
11:07
Speaker 1: Got asking for a friend? Jay's up next? Hang on, Jay,
11:09
Speaker 1: I'd be right with you after these brief words.
11:11
Speaker 4: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station SHY five.
11:16
Speaker 1: Twenty on a Tuesday. You my head, it's Monday. Just
11:23
Speaker 1: a little extra brain fog considering e four day weekend. Anyhow,
11:26
Speaker 1: it's going to the phones five on three seven two
11:28
Speaker 1: three Talk Jay, thanks for calling this morning. Happy Tuesday, Hey.
11:32
Speaker 4: Happy Tuesday, Brian, welcome back. Thanks, Hey, Hey, I wrapped
11:37
Speaker 4: up my numbers. Being a numbers guy, I was trying
11:40
Speaker 4: to call in every day and give everybody the update
11:42
Speaker 4: on how much money we theoretically could have saved during
11:44
Speaker 4: the shutdown. And the point is how little this government
11:48
Speaker 4: has impacted your day in, day out whenever it's shut down,
11:51
Speaker 4: which I think is the best way to pay off
11:52
Speaker 4: the national debt. Is we can't trust them to show
11:56
Speaker 4: up and not spend money, so just shut it down
11:57
Speaker 4: and don't spend any money.
11:59
Speaker 5: Theoretically.
12:01
Speaker 4: The way I come up with this real quick is
12:03
Speaker 4: I take the one point seven trillion dollars per year,
12:05
Speaker 4: which is discretionary spending out of a seven trillion dollar budget.
12:10
Speaker 4: By that by three sixty five gives you dollars per day,
12:13
Speaker 4: and then I multiplied that times forty three days of
12:15
Speaker 4: the shutdown. It came up with two hundred billion dollars,
12:19
Speaker 4: which is a lot of money. Now, one of the
12:21
Speaker 4: things I would one of the things I would do
12:23
Speaker 4: is to try to put it into a frame of references.
12:26
Speaker 4: I would try to figure out, like, you know, how
12:28
Speaker 4: much is the Department of Education's annual budget, which I
12:31
Speaker 4: think was around two hundred billion dollars, So you know,
12:34
Speaker 4: we could maybe like fund the whole Department of Education.
12:37
Speaker 4: I was shocked to find as I was looking at
12:39
Speaker 4: the budget for each one of these federal departments with
12:43
Speaker 4: unelected bureaucrafts, HHS is one point eight trillion dollars per
12:50
Speaker 4: year on a seven trillion dollar federal budget.
12:53
Speaker 1: That's insanity.
12:54
Speaker 4: Which so what that means is we saved two hundred
12:58
Speaker 4: billion dollars on discretionary spend during the shutdown. We would
13:02
Speaker 4: have to do that a thousand times, be shut down
13:05
Speaker 4: forty three thousand days in order to pay for one
13:07
Speaker 4: year of HHS budget, And which tells me and tells
13:13
Speaker 4: all the listeners, we don't pay off this debt until
13:16
Speaker 4: we get AHHS under control, and because it's about a
13:21
Speaker 4: third of the total federal government. So that's one point.
13:26
Speaker 4: The other quick point I want to make is I
13:27
Speaker 4: heard Speaker Johnson yesterday talk about that now that the
13:30
Speaker 4: shutdown is done, we can get air traffic controllers and
13:33
Speaker 4: ice and on our armed services and the US farmers paid,
13:38
Speaker 4: and I thought, wait a second, I think he said
13:41
Speaker 4: the quiet part out loud as they say, are we
13:44
Speaker 4: just now to consider that US farmers are are are
13:49
Speaker 4: are federal workers.
13:51
Speaker 6: We have we arrived where the US.
13:54
Speaker 4: Farmer is no longer part of the free market economy,
13:56
Speaker 4: and they are pumped in with federal workers.
13:59
Speaker 1: I guess during the way that the farm budget is
14:02
Speaker 1: managed and the mandates on you know, corn production rather
14:06
Speaker 1: than you know, something else, the edicts and the limitations
14:09
Speaker 1: they place on farmers. I mean, it's a very difficult
14:11
Speaker 1: industry to run. But I guess I'm wondering when he
14:14
Speaker 1: said paid, what specifically was he referring to. Was this
14:17
Speaker 1: a subsidy or because contextually speaking, no, I didn't think
14:22
Speaker 1: the American farmers were receiving paychecks from the federal government
14:25
Speaker 1: to the extent they're dealing with their tax issues or
14:28
Speaker 1: getting subsidies or you know. I guess I'm kind of
14:32
Speaker 1: in dark on that concept, Jay, I'll be quite frank
14:35
Speaker 1: with you.
14:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he meant subsidies. But whenever he's talking
14:41
Speaker 4: armed services, federal workers, air traffic controller, federal workers, TSA,
14:45
Speaker 4: federal workers, and then he threw the farmers in there,
14:48
Speaker 4: which breaks my heart for the farmers. But I think
14:51
Speaker 4: it is the truth that without these federal subsidies, I
14:54
Speaker 4: think that is the largest part, unfortunately, of the US
14:58
Speaker 4: farmers paycheck is coming out of the federal government. And
15:00
Speaker 4: I think Speaker Johnson put it out there in the
15:04
Speaker 4: public with this comment yesterday.
15:06
Speaker 1: I guess some kind of one, you know, considering that
15:09
Speaker 1: food is probably one of the most important things that
15:12
Speaker 1: is manufactured, grown, or otherwise produced. We all have to eat,
15:16
Speaker 1: right there is a built in demand that is literally
15:19
Speaker 1: never going to go away. So upon what twisted logic
15:23
Speaker 1: is it that the American farmer has to survive by
15:25
Speaker 1: the with the government largest considering everyone in the world
15:30
Speaker 1: wants the products. I know it's a simplistic way of
15:33
Speaker 1: viewing it, but why has it gotten so fouled up
15:36
Speaker 1: that these edicts and mandates and regulations are so inextricably
15:40
Speaker 1: intertwined with the American farmer. I don't get it.
15:43
Speaker 4: Here's what I heard. Here's what I heard years ago
15:45
Speaker 4: was that after the dust ball, like nineteen seventy, the
15:49
Speaker 4: dust ball was about thirty forty years in the rear
15:51
Speaker 4: view mirror, and there was starting to be some talk
15:53
Speaker 4: in the federal government about why are we continuing to.
15:56
Speaker 7: Have this farm bill?
15:57
Speaker 4: Farmers are back on their feet, And then there was
16:00
Speaker 4: an unholy alliance. If you notice, the farm bill is
16:03
Speaker 4: also linked with food stamp funding. Rural politicians made a
16:07
Speaker 4: deal with urban politicians that we're going to put these
16:11
Speaker 4: two things together, and therefore our constituents in the cities
16:14
Speaker 4: will get the food stamps. Your constituents in the country
16:17
Speaker 4: will get their farm bill. And that's why, if you
16:20
Speaker 4: take a look at the funding mechanism, those two things
16:23
Speaker 4: are linked together hard. And as Rush Limbaugh said years ago,
16:28
Speaker 4: I think during the Clinton administration, the US farmer at
16:31
Speaker 4: some point, knowing when the farm bill got really big,
16:34
Speaker 4: he said, the federal government just turned the US farmers
16:36
Speaker 4: into the largest welfare recipient in.
16:39
Speaker 5: The United States.
16:40
Speaker 4: Now, the way to fix this is get the government
16:43
Speaker 4: out of farming, free up the farmers to set their
16:46
Speaker 4: own prices, and turn them loose into the free market economy.
16:51
Speaker 1: Well, in a world where we had smaller farmers and
16:55
Speaker 1: not these massive corporate farms, you know, that might very
16:58
Speaker 1: well work. But now these corporate farms are have massive,
17:01
Speaker 1: massive lobbying abilities, and you know, and this is how
17:04
Speaker 1: government works. Always isn't it. Jay. The bigger the entity,
17:07
Speaker 1: the more power they wield over our elected officials, and
17:10
Speaker 1: the more the more leverage they have. And so you know,
17:13
Speaker 1: you got your your your tysons and your connagers or
17:16
Speaker 1: whoever out there are the giant corporate farmers. You know,
17:18
Speaker 1: we're not talking about a multitude of small farmers anymore.
17:22
Speaker 1: So the landscape has changed since the earlier days, you know,
17:25
Speaker 1: say post dust bowl. Anyway, Sorry, Jay, I look Joe's
17:31
Speaker 1: screaming clock in my earn and he's right, Yeah, lots
17:34
Speaker 1: of un package there, Jay, I don't disagree with what
17:36
Speaker 1: you're saying. It's just another reflection of how government gets
17:39
Speaker 1: in the mix and starts screwing things up, and what
17:42
Speaker 1: government solution has ever really ultimately panned out. I've got
17:47
Speaker 1: article after article about the fraud, wasted abuse, and the
17:49
Speaker 1: food stamp program alone right in front of me. And
17:51
Speaker 1: when you talk to numbers that you're talking about, I
17:53
Speaker 1: were talking billions in billions stolen from food program, but
17:57
Speaker 1: when compared to the overall expenditures of government, ultimately doesn't
17:59
Speaker 1: add to i'mount to a whole lot, even though we
18:02
Speaker 1: want to get rid of fraud waste and abuse five
18:04
Speaker 1: twenty six. Right now, stick around more to talk about
18:06
Speaker 1: I love phone calls. Out of that, we're going to
18:07
Speaker 1: dive into local stories. Either way, we go be.
18:09
Speaker 8: Right back fifty five KRC your one stuff.
18:12
Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday to you Thursdays. I heart media aviation expert
18:16
Speaker 1: Jay ratlve. He has been on hiatus because of his
18:18
Speaker 1: Bell's policy palsy diagnosis and struggling with that. But apparently
18:23
Speaker 1: he issued an optimistic statement yesterday on social media saying
18:26
Speaker 1: looks like he's back. He'll be up and running this week,
18:28
Speaker 1: and so I got my fingers crossed and thank you
18:30
Speaker 1: to every one of the listening audience who offered Jay
18:33
Speaker 1: ratl of support and prayers and everything. He seems like
18:36
Speaker 1: he's on the right track, so it obviously helped that
18:39
Speaker 1: further a DEO, it'll tiber to see what Tom wants. Tom,
18:41
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Morning Show. It's always pleasure hearing from you,
18:43
Speaker 1: my friend.
18:45
Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning, Welcome back to you, Welcome back to Joe,
18:48
Speaker 7: your replacements today. Admirable job, but it's just not the
18:54
Speaker 7: same with you guys not around. Well, thank you Bill Blad.
18:57
Speaker 7: You guys are back. I hope you enjoyed your time off,
18:59
Speaker 7: great time, and even though you maybe have a little
19:01
Speaker 7: lingering brain fog, hopefully you got you got rested up
19:05
Speaker 7: really well.
19:06
Speaker 1: I did, Thank you good. I don't know if the
19:09
Speaker 1: brain fog is from sleeping in and being a different schedule,
19:12
Speaker 1: or maybe the bourbon that I drank over the weekend
19:14
Speaker 1: at the combination.
19:17
Speaker 7: Of Yeah, the alcohol does come into play sometimes, doesn't
19:21
Speaker 7: it lingering effects? So, uh, you guys are talking about
19:27
Speaker 7: about money. Uh, Jay with all his research he does,
19:32
Speaker 7: and and I can't speak for everybody, but I know
19:34
Speaker 7: I greatly appreciate.
19:36
Speaker 5: Uh.
19:36
Speaker 7: Whenever Jay's on, I get informed things that I didn't know.
19:40
Speaker 7: I I get to learn. So that's great. I appreciate it.
19:44
Speaker 7: But you know, money, money, money, money, that's it. If
19:46
Speaker 7: it ain't about the money, it's about the money. And
19:50
Speaker 7: it's basically that I've said this many times and and
19:53
Speaker 7: it bears repeating because all of this politics, and this
19:57
Speaker 7: is both sides of the aisle, all of this po
20:00
Speaker 7: stuff is about how can we get our hands on
20:03
Speaker 7: more money? And and uh what what we just need
20:06
Speaker 7: to keep in mind is that that the listeners and
20:09
Speaker 7: and and you could talk to your families and friends.
20:12
Speaker 7: That is your money that they are getting that you know,
20:15
Speaker 7: they are forcing you to pay taxes, and then they
20:18
Speaker 7: are coming up with every conceivable way for you to
20:22
Speaker 7: pay taxes and for them to get as much money
20:24
Speaker 7: out of out of you as they can. And and
20:27
Speaker 7: the bluery your state is, the more money you're paying.
20:30
Speaker 7: And and uh, it's just it's insanity because it's never
20:35
Speaker 7: enough for them, and they keep coming up with causes,
20:38
Speaker 7: and they keep coming up with with figures that are
20:40
Speaker 7: just how did you come up with that many hundreds
20:43
Speaker 7: of billions of dollars that you need to do that?
20:46
Speaker 7: And it's it is, it is completely out of control.
20:48
Speaker 7: You could argue that there there's really no there's really
20:52
Speaker 7: no putting this animal back into cage. It's it's just
20:56
Speaker 7: it's insanity. And so I just again strongly encourage people.
21:02
Speaker 7: You know, I'm not a fan of everything that the
21:05
Speaker 7: Republicans do. They have their own greed that they deal
21:09
Speaker 7: with and they push on us and they take more
21:11
Speaker 7: money from us and stuff like that. And we were
21:13
Speaker 7: talking about the you know, the Speaker Johnson making sure
21:17
Speaker 7: the farmers get money. There's no reason for us to
21:20
Speaker 7: subsidize the farmer. The way we're supposed to subsidize the
21:23
Speaker 7: farmers is buy their product. Isn't that the way this
21:26
Speaker 7: is supposed to Well.
21:27
Speaker 1: That was a puzzling thing about what Jay's comment was
21:29
Speaker 1: that this was an exchange. Snap was in exchange for
21:32
Speaker 1: the farmers to get their farm bill. Well, SNAP is
21:36
Speaker 1: us the American taxpayer putting money on a card so
21:39
Speaker 1: that people can buy food, which directly directly helps the
21:43
Speaker 1: American farmer because they're buying food. If you want to
21:45
Speaker 1: put an extra restriction on it, say you have to
21:47
Speaker 1: buy American food for example. I mean not that I'm
21:49
Speaker 1: advocating for that necessarily. I don't think foodstams should be
21:52
Speaker 1: able to pay for sodas and sugary non nutritious items.
21:55
Speaker 1: But you know, let's say you have to buy products
21:57
Speaker 1: that benefits the American farmer. Theoretic like just let it
22:00
Speaker 1: fester run in your head and see if that might work.
22:03
Speaker 3: Right.
22:04
Speaker 7: Well, so, so it's like we're we're paying money for
22:07
Speaker 7: staff and then we're also giving money to the farmers. Well,
22:10
Speaker 7: the question, I could what are we doing to the
22:12
Speaker 7: farmers to where we need to subsidize them so much?
22:16
Speaker 7: Because it's not like you know, we do have health
22:18
Speaker 7: insurance companies with this, with all with this health bills
22:21
Speaker 7: and you know, the alleged of Affordable Care Act and
22:25
Speaker 7: all that, and we watch these health ashurance companies just
22:28
Speaker 7: get richer and richer and and and all that. Well,
22:31
Speaker 7: that's not happening to farmers now, you know far Well,
22:34
Speaker 7: of course, the conglomerates aren't getting bigger, but the mom
22:38
Speaker 7: and pop farmers and the smaller farmers they're they're going away.
22:41
Speaker 7: So we're obviously we're getting our hands. And when I
22:44
Speaker 7: say we, the government's getting their hands and stuff that
22:47
Speaker 7: they got no business being in. I agree with Jay.
22:50
Speaker 7: Let's let these people figure it out and at the
22:52
Speaker 7: price of their own stuff, and and uh, based on
22:55
Speaker 7: the market. And of course, you know we got Democrats
22:59
Speaker 7: in there and all their stupid, crazy ideas, and it
23:03
Speaker 7: just it runs the gamut of how ridiculous it is.
23:06
Speaker 7: So don't vote Democrats. Have a great day.
23:08
Speaker 1: Thanks Tom, You do the same. Yeah, if you think
23:10
Speaker 1: your energy bill is bad, why do you think that is?
23:15
Speaker 1: Demand keeps increasing, artificial intelligence facilities keep coming online, more
23:19
Speaker 1: and more energy needed, and not enough production out there. Why, well,
23:23
Speaker 1: you know the reason, global warming we deprive ourselves of
23:28
Speaker 1: an efficient means of producing electricity, falling behind when you
23:32
Speaker 1: compare ourselves to China and its rapid expansion and inability
23:36
Speaker 1: to keep up with It's also growing demands for power.
23:39
Speaker 1: We still chase our tails searching for a carbon neutral world,
23:43
Speaker 1: which is a joke. I've got some great stories on
23:45
Speaker 1: that coming up. We can dive on into it as
23:47
Speaker 1: one particularly excellent article by Victor Davis Hansen which talks
23:52
Speaker 1: about this, but amid other articles talking about more Americans
23:55
Speaker 1: falling behind on the utility bills. Germany is a great
23:58
Speaker 1: illustration of the failure climate policies, and now it's going
24:01
Speaker 1: to require government subsidies for manufacturing industries to even afford
24:05
Speaker 1: to be able to pay their energy bills. That means
24:08
Speaker 1: the German taxpayer is eating this chart, this ridiculous additional
24:12
Speaker 1: amount for power generation based upon global warming and using
24:16
Speaker 1: windmills and solar panels rather than efficient productions like nuclear
24:21
Speaker 1: and of course coal facilities natural gas. There are others
24:24
Speaker 1: out there. They did this to themselves, so there's enough
24:28
Speaker 1: time we can stop it in its tracks. But you
24:30
Speaker 1: got to just get rid of that stupid religion you
24:32
Speaker 1: bought into five thirty six fifty five KRC detalk station.
24:35
Speaker 1: This is fifty five KRC and iHeart it is forty
24:41

Speaker 1: to be back well kind of you know how it is.
24:49
Speaker 1: It's nice being off work, but it's nice to be
24:50
Speaker 1: able to come back to work anyhow. Calls are always
24:54
Speaker 1: welcome here in the Morning Show, although we do have
24:55
Speaker 1: a stack as stupid uh three seven four fifty two
24:59
Speaker 1: three pound FI fifty on eight and t fence. Don't

25:14
Speaker 1: to pat ourselves on the back here in the Morning Show.
25:16
Speaker 1: You see the latest quarterly results. You don't get those,
25:20
Speaker 1: well I have to ford them to you. So pat
25:22
Speaker 1: yourself on the back. Joe Strecker for producing the program.
25:25
Speaker 1: But it really is a wonderful thing. And I can't
25:27
Speaker 1: thank you enough for streaming the audio or listening to
25:29
Speaker 1: the terrestrial. That's great too. Anyway, over to the stack. Hey,
25:34
Speaker 1: let's start in Florida, where we have an enraged girlfriend
25:39
Speaker 1: who's been arrested and now facing multiple charges after attacking
25:42
Speaker 1: her boyfriend because he sent some other woman five dollars.
25:47
Speaker 1: Hey man, brother, thirty four year old Danielle Banks now
25:49
Speaker 1: in custody on a seventy five thousand dollars bond. Clearly
25:53
Speaker 1: this didn't take place in Hamilton County in front of
25:55
Speaker 1: Judge Silverstein charge to the aggravated battery in the moreau
26:00
Speaker 1: Coatti Sheriff's office. She became upset after discovering her boyfriend
26:04
Speaker 1: had spent a five dollar payment or sent rather a
26:07
Speaker 1: five dollar payment to another woman via a mobile app.
26:09
Speaker 1: And here's a disturbing sentence from the article. She found
26:12
Speaker 1: this payment when she was going through her boyfriend's phone.
26:16
Speaker 1: What is that a rule in your relationship that you're
26:21
Speaker 1: allowed to look at your partner's phone information? Now, I
26:27
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a problem if my wife wanted to do it.
26:30
Speaker 1: I guess I just kind of scratched my head and wonder,
26:32
Speaker 1: why in the hell would she be interested in who
26:33
Speaker 1: I'm talking to or what text I'm sending you know,
26:37
Speaker 1: thirty three plus years of marriage in thirty seven years
26:39
Speaker 1: of a relationship tends to go a long wait for
26:41
Speaker 1: that trust factor anyway, that's disturbing to me. Corner of
26:46
Speaker 1: the Lass report, Banks confronted her boyfriend after she found
26:49
Speaker 1: this charge, calling him multiple derogatory names that's in quote,
26:54
Speaker 1: and taking the situation to the next level by hitting
26:56
Speaker 1: him multiple times in the face. Police found it a
26:59
Speaker 1: shirt was torn stained with blood. After hitting him, she
27:03
Speaker 1: allegedly retrieved a knife from the kitchen and threw it
27:05
Speaker 1: at her boyfriend's head, cutting his face. After that, Banks
27:10
Speaker 1: reportedly fled the scene, fled their shared home, or boyfriend
27:13
Speaker 1: called nine to one one, telling dispatch that she had
27:15
Speaker 1: stabbed him in the face. Apparently, US Border drol agent
27:20
Speaker 1: followed Banks in an unmarked car until she stopped at
27:22
Speaker 1: a nearby apartment. Sheriff's deputies and then arrived on the
27:25
Speaker 1: scene and detained Banks, who attempted to hide inside her vehicle.
27:28
Speaker 1: I could luck with that, Joe. How do you hide
27:34
Speaker 1: inside your vehicle when it's surrounded by sheriff's deputy camouflaws shirt.
27:41
Speaker 1: During questioning, she claims she threw a plate into the sink,
27:45
Speaker 1: suggesting the police that a shard from that broken plate
27:48
Speaker 1: caused the industry injury and not a knife. After telling
27:50
Speaker 1: police this, she then invoked her right to remain silent.
27:53
Speaker 1: Thank you. Liam. Boyfriend declyde to provide a written statement
27:57
Speaker 1: and did not allow deputies to retrieve the knife from
27:59
Speaker 1: the home, stating that the property was not his treated
28:03
Speaker 1: by first responders, and left with his brother.
28:09
Speaker 3: Dad.
28:09
Speaker 1: Joe, you hit the nail on the head on that.
28:11
Speaker 1: You might want to rethink that relationship, okay. Motorists told
28:16
Speaker 1: police that he was busy attempting to urinate into a
28:19
Speaker 1: Budweiser can when he accidentally ran into another vehicle on
28:23
Speaker 1: a Montana roadway. Oh, how could you tell the difference
28:28
Speaker 1: between the contents of an unopened Budweiser can and what
28:32
Speaker 1: he put into it? Joe, excellent point made.
28:35
Speaker 2: Who can argue with that?
28:36
Speaker 1: No one? Joe Strecker made the point improbable cause affidata
28:41
Speaker 1: James Howard fifty three driving his Chevy Suburban in Missoui
28:44
Speaker 1: on a Missola roadway when he slammed into the rear
28:46
Speaker 1: of Volkswagen carrying two passengers. Highway patrol officer arrived at
28:50
Speaker 1: the crash scene reported seeing Howard with a quote large
28:54
Speaker 1: Budweiser beer can in his right hand, which he moved
28:57
Speaker 1: into the center console court and police. Howard handed over
29:01
Speaker 1: the beer can when asked, and when asked and said
29:04
Speaker 1: it contained urine and not beer. Further explained that he
29:08
Speaker 1: rear into the vehicle because he was attempting to urinate
29:10
Speaker 1: into the beer can while driving. How hard is it? Well,
29:14
Speaker 1: I made it more difficult, didn't it. Joe Volkswagen driver
29:16
Speaker 1: told cops he was a stop light after exiting the
29:19
Speaker 1: Unit Expressway when he saw lights approaching in his rearview
29:22
Speaker 1: mirror and told his girlfriend a brace for impact. Howard,
29:25
Speaker 1: who claimed to have consumed only one beer, reportedly smelled
29:28
Speaker 1: of alcohol, his speech was slow and slurred, and his
29:31
Speaker 1: pants were wet with urine. Cord to the rest Dabbadevid,
29:36
Speaker 1: Howard stated that he had not more than a couple
29:39
Speaker 1: of d wise and was not supposed to be driving.
29:47
Speaker 1: Howard told a police quote as close as I can
29:49
Speaker 1: make it in the quote, I'm going to jail for
29:52
Speaker 1: a f wording long time. Well, at least he was
29:55
Speaker 1: aware of his situation and please check if his driver's
29:57
Speaker 1: history showed that his license had been suspended early in
30:00
Speaker 1: the month that he had four four prior impaired driving convictions,
30:04
Speaker 1: postcrafts and toxalizer tests registered as blood alcohol concentration at
30:08
Speaker 1: more than three times the legal limit. How many budwiseres
30:14
Speaker 1: would you have to drink Joe to get three times
30:16
Speaker 1: the legal limit? Tree Fitty. They'll be three hundred and
30:20
Speaker 1: fifty arrested for aggravated UI fellnally, reckless driving, driving with
30:24
Speaker 1: a suspended license, both misdemeanors being held in the county
30:27
Speaker 1: jail in little of a ten thousand dollars bond five
30:29
Speaker 1: forty six Right now more stupid coming up? Stick around
30:32
Speaker 1: fifty five krc A decade ago five fifty one, fifty
30:38
Speaker 1: five kr CIT talk station Happy Tuesday by Thomas You
30:41
Speaker 1: reminding you fifty five CARCA dot com. Remember the Steinholding Championship,
30:44
Speaker 1: the first It's like the first Super Bowl ever, The
30:47
Speaker 1: inaugural National Steinholding Championships taking place right here in Cincinnati,
30:51
Speaker 1: November twenty second. Go there and have fun. Get yourself
30:54
Speaker 1: a T shirt. See don't you wish you had a
30:57
Speaker 1: T shirt from the first Super Bowl? This is going
31:01
Speaker 1: to be bigger than the Super Bowl. At some point
31:04
Speaker 1: in time. Maybe not anyway. Democratic Representative Brad Sherman. Oh,
31:08
Speaker 1: this is back to the stack of stupid. In case
31:10
Speaker 1: you didn't get that note, firing back after photos went
31:13
Speaker 1: viral showing him viewing explicit images on a tablet while
31:18
Speaker 1: on an airplane. Why are you doing? Seventy one year
31:22
Speaker 1: old California congressman had their images posted on X this
31:26
Speaker 1: past Friday, showing him with his mouth open scrolling through
31:29
Speaker 1: photos of women in their underwear. As of Saturday evening,
31:36
Speaker 1: see this is why it sucks being a public official
31:38
Speaker 1: twelve point four million viewers as of Saturday. I'd love
31:42
Speaker 1: to see an update on that one, Joe. I bet
31:43
Speaker 1: it's doubled since then. He denied the allegations. The spokespostion
31:47
Speaker 1: for the congressman told Fox News Digital and others that
31:49
Speaker 1: the pictures appeared because of his algorithm on X. I know, hey, Joe,
31:57
Speaker 1: how is an algorithm created? Isn't it? Because the gathers
32:00
Speaker 1: up content that you previously viewed and then shows you
32:03
Speaker 1: things that it thinks you once based upon your prior
32:05
Speaker 1: clicks and likes an interests. Right, That's why this makes
32:09
Speaker 1: no sense. Spokesmansten for Sherman said this was nothing more
32:12
Speaker 1: than scrolling through Twitter, and unfortunately Elon Musk has ruined
32:17
Speaker 1: the Twitter algorithm to give people content that they don't
32:20
Speaker 1: ask for or subscribe to. Whatever. Thank you. Liam Sherman
32:25
Speaker 1: also said that the images were heard on his X
32:27
Speaker 1: feet under the quote for you close quote section of X,
32:30
Speaker 1: which apparently is a page showing recommended content. This was
32:34
Speaker 1: on Twitter. These pictures came up on for you, he
32:36
Speaker 1: said to punch Bowl News, adding he had viewed a
32:41
Speaker 1: variety of posts during his flight. Quote. If you have
32:44
Speaker 1: to fly across the country, you look at a lot
32:46
Speaker 1: of stuff on your tablet. If I see a picture
32:48
Speaker 1: of a woman, might I look at it longer than
32:50
Speaker 1: a sunset? Yeah? Thanks to the algorithm. Yeah, it's Elon
33:00
Speaker 1: Musk's fault, Joe, he thought. He said whether he thought
33:03
Speaker 1: the content was appropriate to you on a plane? He said,
33:07
Speaker 1: quote is it pornography? I don't think Elon Musk thinks
33:11
Speaker 1: so is it appropriate?
33:13
Speaker 4: No?
33:14
Speaker 1: So he finally got to the ask no question, and
33:17
Speaker 1: he answered, no, it's not appropriate, even though he was
33:18
Speaker 1: doing it. Donald Trump had a respond Donald Trump Junior
33:26
Speaker 1: rather single viral post Yike's triple Question or a triple
33:31
Speaker 1: exclamation point, and in response to that one, Sherman posted
33:35
Speaker 1: an edited version of the video showing his iPad screen
33:38
Speaker 1: replaced with the words repeat released the Epstein files, to
33:41
Speaker 1: which I'm sure Donald Trump Junior said, well, my dad
33:43
Speaker 1: said he's already gonna do that, so you can just
33:45
Speaker 1: wait till maybe today Tuesday for those Epstein files to
33:48
Speaker 1: be ordered released. I'm not sure what Sherman got out
33:52
Speaker 1: of that one.
33:55
Speaker 3: Idiots doing idiot things because they're idiots. Me.
34:03
Speaker 1: Isn't there a sense of self awareness? You're in an airplane,
34:07
Speaker 1: you're an elected official, people know who you are, and
34:09
Speaker 1: you're scrolling through neudie picks or even scantly clad women picks.
34:12
Speaker 1: Wait till you get to your hotel room or home.
34:19
Speaker 1: Simple advice. Women of Washington State's been accused of killing
34:25
Speaker 1: a man after putting fentanyl in his drink at a
34:28
Speaker 1: hotel casino. Thirty four year old Raylan Benzi facing charges
34:33
Speaker 1: including murder, controlled substance homicide, placing poison or other harmful
34:36
Speaker 1: substances in a drink, robbery, and theft. Court documents. Sy

34:48
Speaker 1: old man deaded a hotel room identified as Arsland, just

Speaker 1: police interview, she said she described she decided to give
35:10
Speaker 1: Arsland fentanyl because she forgot to bring, in her words,
35:15
Speaker 1: the date rape drug do what Hells, the one that
35:19
Speaker 1: she usually used to put men to sleep before robbing them.
35:23
Speaker 1: Text messages from Benzi to friends who reportedly detailed her
35:26
Speaker 1: plans the drug and rob the victim of his casino winnings.
35:32
Speaker 1: The casino actually issued a statement, and you could probably
35:37
Speaker 1: make it up in your head. We're Sadden. We always
35:39
Speaker 1: prioritize security. Barber fifty six at the five Krosite talk
35:43
Speaker 1: station open our out couple of open hours. Guests show
35:47
Speaker 1: up at eight o'clock. But we got plenty of time
35:49
Speaker 1: to talk, and there's plenty of information to talk about,
35:51
Speaker 1: most notably this. You know, we're speaking about how expensive
35:54
Speaker 1: everything has gotten and that's a number one concern politically
35:57
Speaker 1: for all politicians. Affordabile. Well, who created the lack of
36:03
Speaker 1: affordability and energy? Hmmm, ig, I wonder and you know
36:07
Speaker 1: the same people that created a lack of affordability are
36:09
Speaker 1: going to offer a solution for you. And I'm sure
36:11
Speaker 1: it's going to work out great. Don't go away. Five
36:14
Speaker 1: fifty six fifty five KRCD Talk station.
36:16
Speaker 9: Today's top headlines coming up at the top of the hour.
36:20
Speaker 1: I mean, you just can't predict what's going to happen next.
36:22
Speaker 1: On fifty five krc D talk station. You're one stop
36:26
Speaker 1: for a D talk station. Talking about six or six
36:31
Speaker 1: fifty got KRCV talk station. Brian Thomas right here back
36:34
Speaker 1: from my forty eight break enjoyed myself recommending everyone to
36:38
Speaker 1: try a bourbon tour sometime. We had a really great time.
36:41
Speaker 1: The only one we went to was Castle and Key
36:42
Speaker 1: and was just outstanding. So not even a huge bourbon guy,
36:46
Speaker 1: am I Just the whole process that this the neat
36:49
Speaker 1: creation of that facility over years, the number of hands
36:51
Speaker 1: it's changed, the fact that it was completely dilapidated and
36:55
Speaker 1: falling in on top of itself. When the most recent
36:57
Speaker 1: investor came in and turned it around. It is gorgeous
36:59
Speaker 1: and a really beautiful day. We were blessed. So to
37:02
Speaker 1: my friends and to my wife, thank you for the
37:04
Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic weekend. Of course, to you and Gary, Jeff
37:08
Speaker 1: Walker and Dan Carroll for covering for me while I
37:10
Speaker 1: was sleeping in five one, three, seven, four nine fifty
37:13
Speaker 1: five hundred, eight hundred eight two to three taco with
37:15
Speaker 1: pound five fifty if you have an AT and T
37:17
Speaker 1: phone stick around. Guests begin and they come in earnest
37:20
Speaker 1: At eight oh five, beginning with a bright Bart inside
37:22
Speaker 1: scoop with bright Bart News. Today we hear from breit
37:25
Speaker 1: Bart Border News director Brandon Darby, who's going to be
37:27
Speaker 1: doing an empower You seminar tonight beginning at seven pm.
37:30
Speaker 1: Remember a power Youoamerica dot org. Log in and make
37:33
Speaker 1: sure you register before the seminar begins. Going to be
37:36
Speaker 1: a great seminar. We get some of the details again
37:37
Speaker 1: at eight to five, follow by the Daniel Davis Deep Dive.
37:40
Speaker 1: Lots of developments I talked about in the last hour
37:42
Speaker 1: of the Security Council. Un Security Council has been totally
37:46
Speaker 1: rallied and they are all on board with Donald Trump's
37:49
Speaker 1: proposal to deal with Amas, the war between Israel and
37:52
Speaker 1: Hamas and disarming Hamas as a predicate to moving forward
37:56
Speaker 1: and doing anything. Just a boiled down summary of that one,
38:00
Speaker 1: which I consider a huge victory considering China and Russia
38:02
Speaker 1: do have a veto power resolution past thirteen oh China
38:07
Speaker 1: Russia ubstained. That's amazing amount of leverage, considering there's nothing
38:12
Speaker 1: in that that it can be remotely considered pro Hamas,
38:17
Speaker 1: and that it is well, at least the Journal's description
38:20
Speaker 1: of it, the most pro Israeli resolution that has come
38:23
Speaker 1: out of the UN in like well forever. So also
38:27
Speaker 1: have Daniel Davis talking about Emanuel Macrone promising to send
38:30
Speaker 1: one hundred fighter jets Ukraine and of course Ukraine continues
38:35
Speaker 1: to clamor for Tomahawk missiles. He's a pretty bleak opinion
38:39
Speaker 1: of Ukraine status in that war, and I kind of
38:41
Speaker 1: share that opinion with Daniel Davis, will get him at
38:43
Speaker 1: the bottom of the eight o'clock hour, Dan Claire Communications
38:46
Speaker 1: direct our Communications Office for the Disabled American Veterans about
38:49
Speaker 1: finding jobs for disabled vets. That's a great cause right there.
38:53
Speaker 1: We'll talk with Dan at eight forty and then we'll
38:55
Speaker 1: get a last segment with Cover since he's John Ruhlman,
38:59
Speaker 1: who will be our end the expert, and he'll have
39:01
Speaker 1: great advice. I think for Medicare folks getting on its
39:04
Speaker 1: open enrollment, your plan is being offered by your employer
39:07
Speaker 1: right now, critical time to talk with the folks that Cover,
39:10
Speaker 1: since he strongly encourage you doing that. Anyhow, over to
39:14
Speaker 1: Victor David Hanson, and I was talking about the climate
39:17
Speaker 1: change reality, and you know, it just makes me feel
39:20
Speaker 1: good that I have been what I believe to be
39:22
Speaker 1: right on this whole carbon dioxide global warming crap that
39:25
Speaker 1: we've been fed and it's all coming home to roost,
39:29
Speaker 1: not in a good way for the global warming believers.
39:33
Speaker 1: And he writes it. For decades, the monolithic and sacriscaink
39:36
Speaker 1: international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned. Western nations, in particular,
39:41
Speaker 1: spent trillions of dollars over the past half century to
39:44
Speaker 1: subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing
39:49
Speaker 1: carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet. Like diversity,
39:53
Speaker 1: equity and inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into
39:57
Speaker 1: every aspect of Western culture from the corporate boreroom to
40:01
Speaker 1: the university campus and pondered that for a moment, what
40:05
Speaker 1: a coordinated effort that was. If you question whether man
40:10
Speaker 1: made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather
40:13
Speaker 1: than natural often centuries long cycles of heating and cooling
40:17
Speaker 1: of the planet, like me, one was labeled a climate crank.
40:21
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas climate crank. Everything from declining fertility to forest
40:26
Speaker 1: fires was ridiculously attributed to climate change, but the causes
40:30
Speaker 1: of both democratic demographic crises fertility rate and charred landscapes
40:36
Speaker 1: were more likely the result of new affluent lifestyles that
40:39
Speaker 1: saw child rearing as too expensive and time consuming and
40:43
Speaker 1: underscore misguided forest policies or underfunded firefighting. Yet reality has
40:50
Speaker 1: caught up with the near religious climate change cult. And
40:54
Speaker 1: I'll take away that near word from Victor David Hanson's
40:58
Speaker 1: analysis it's a religious cult. One point one. The left
41:04
Speaker 1: wing tech billionaires, exemplified by former climate change zell at
41:08
Speaker 1: Bill Gates, have become apostates of the green movement. Well,
41:11
Speaker 1: I guess they have because to follow the green movement
41:13
Speaker 1: means their money making machine artificial intelligence is going to
41:16
Speaker 1: go nowhere, and China will dominate them. They appreciate, for
41:20
Speaker 1: the sake of their own business interest that they can't
41:23
Speaker 1: cling to this religious climate change cult because it's going
41:26
Speaker 1: to ruin them financially. Does that make sense, of course
41:28
Speaker 1: it does. Now they do not warm of a planet
41:32
Speaker 1: threatened by too much man made heat, but rather by
41:34
Speaker 1: two little man made killo wattage. They believe artificial intelligence
41:38
Speaker 1: will prove as transformative as the industrial revolution, but to
41:42
Speaker 1: win the artificial intelligence revolution will require a vast increases
41:47
Speaker 1: in electricity production of up to a staggering one hundred
41:52
Speaker 1: gigawatts a year of additional capacity. Such enormous demand to
41:58
Speaker 1: build the equivalent of one hundred huge power plants every
42:00
Speaker 1: year is far beyond the ability of renewables alone. Instead,
42:05
Speaker 1: the only solution is in all of the above strategy,
42:07
Speaker 1: building more nuclear, natural gas, clean colar. And then there's
42:10
Speaker 1: the wind and solar generation plants, which can go along
42:13
Speaker 1: with the rest, because we of course need constant energy
42:16
Speaker 1: production to back up the sporadic wind and solar generation.
42:21
Speaker 1: To Ascendant China's two, this is in point number two.
42:25
Speaker 1: Ascendant China's massive arms build up and its bullying belt
42:29
Speaker 1: and road imperialism have finally put international climate accords into question.
42:35
Speaker 1: Even the environmentalist King Karl sixteenth Gustava Sweden recently let
42:40
Speaker 1: it slip that he's trouble by why Europe sabotaged its
42:43
Speaker 1: own economy by shutting down its formerly efficient nuclear and
42:46
Speaker 1: fossil fuel plants, reminding the world that the European Union
42:50
Speaker 1: nations contribute only six percent of the planet's carbon emissions.
42:57
Speaker 1: West finally realizes that a cent China has been playing
43:02
Speaker 1: it for years by funding green propaganda abroad. Again. I
43:06
Speaker 1: was so happy he made the point, because he's got
43:07
Speaker 1: more credibility than I do. I've been pointing this out forever.
43:10
Speaker 1: Who dominates social media, who dominates everything online, who's has
43:14
Speaker 1: bought farms of thousands of not hundreds of thousands of computers,
43:18
Speaker 1: generating this propaganda and feeding it to you because you
43:21
Speaker 1: well don't question it in the sanity behind it, or
43:24
Speaker 1: maybe you don't have sufficient information. Here, here's a hockey
43:27
Speaker 1: stick study. We're right, you believe this. Don't believe your
43:29
Speaker 1: own eyes and ears on everything else that's been pointed out,
43:31
Speaker 1: which may turn to different reasons for the so called
43:34
Speaker 1: climate crisis. I'm sorry, I'm interjecting my own thoughts. Apologies
43:39
Speaker 1: to Victor David Hanson back to him. Indeed, be Beijing
43:42
Speaker 1: guilt tripped Europe in the United States on global waring
43:46
Speaker 1: warming well, it exported billions of dollars of cheap wind
43:49
Speaker 1: and solar generation products, often below in its own cost
43:53
Speaker 1: of production. Meanwhile, China plows ahead building two or three
43:57
Speaker 1: colon nuclear generation plants per month. Under the propagandistic banner
44:04
Speaker 1: of climate change. China hopes that its Western competitors invest
44:09
Speaker 1: in inefficient and high priced renewable energy. Meanwhile, its own
44:13
Speaker 1: expanding fossil fuel and nuclear industries ensure that it will
44:17
Speaker 1: enjoy global price advantages in both trade and armament. It
44:22
Speaker 1: benefits China for you to believe in this religion. Three,
44:28
Speaker 1: the global climate crisis shakedown has become shameless. Huh. Formerly
44:34
Speaker 1: third world nations now demand from the West hundreds of
44:37
Speaker 1: billions of dollars in so called climate reparations for carbon
44:40
Speaker 1: emissions released decades ago. Yes, the West burned oil, oil,
44:44
Speaker 1: and gas, but it also provided the rest of the
44:46
Speaker 1: world with carbon fueled cars, factories, and modern consumer goods.
44:50
Speaker 1: Green critics fail to concede that almost all global technology
44:53
Speaker 1: and modern industrial products come from either the West or
44:57
Speaker 1: westernizing copycats. Zero point four. Energy production is that the
45:03
Speaker 1: nexus of conflict and can mean life or death for nations.
45:08
Speaker 1: To the degree of the United States and its allies
45:09
Speaker 1: produce lots of natural gas and oil, they can protect
45:13
Speaker 1: the West from crippling embargoes and cutoffs from anti Western
45:17
Speaker 1: energy producers. During the Ukraine War, America exported liquefied natural
45:21
Speaker 1: gas to Europe, not solar panels or turbine blades, and
45:25
Speaker 1: it will be increasingly essential to keep europe afloat as
45:27
Speaker 1: Russia turns off its exports. Bigot when oil and gas
45:31
Speaker 1: are affordable thanks to the fossil fuel production of Western
45:35
Speaker 1: nations than illiberal and bellicose oil exporting countries like Iran
45:40
Speaker 1: and Russia have less money to spend on aggressive wars
45:44
Speaker 1: or subsidizing their global terrorists. Five point five. Science is
45:52
Speaker 1: not fossilized in amber, but dynamic and changing. Increasingly. Climatologists
45:57
Speaker 1: are no longer afraid of being bully by global green skulds.
46:03
Speaker 1: They point out that while accurate temperature recording is only
46:06
Speaker 1: a couple of one hundred a couple of centuries old,
46:09
Speaker 1: the planet has been here for over four billion years,
46:12
Speaker 1: and it reveals plenty of evidence of natural climate volatility.
46:16
Speaker 1: Extreme heat and cold spells lasted in nature for centuries
46:21
Speaker 1: undid so long before humans appeared little more than three
46:23
Speaker 1: hundred thousand years ago. There's that pesky fun fact. So
46:27
Speaker 1: the public is sick of pseudoscientific activists pedaling their doom
46:31
Speaker 1: and gloom wares of their own particular and profitable agendas.
46:36
Speaker 1: Ela green gurus often buy seaside estates Barack Obama while
46:41
Speaker 1: warning of devastating tidal waves to come. They fly in
46:45
Speaker 1: carbon spewing private jets while ordering the poor to turn
46:50
Speaker 1: down their air conditioners. In some carbon is dead, Long
46:56
Speaker 1: Live carbon victor David Hanson some fun facts poorting his points.
47:01
Speaker 1: Lots of information out about the cost of electricity, and
47:04
Speaker 1: we all know the reason behind its increase in price
47:07
Speaker 1: demand coupled with stupid, stupid ideas about electricity generation five

Speaker 1: on three seven, four nine fifty five D eight hundred
47:15

47:17
Speaker 1: and T phone QN You see kinetics pain you got
47:22
Speaker 1: at six twenty one to fifty five kr CD talk station. Yeah.
47:28
Speaker 1: Further to the energy issue, situation here in Germany's. This
47:30
Speaker 1: is you know, there are so many parallels between what
47:33
Speaker 1: Germany's doing right now and so far as dealing with
47:35
Speaker 1: its energy crisis, a self created crisis. You know, government
47:38
Speaker 1: creates crises by turning off the legitimate, reliable spigot of
47:41
Speaker 1: efficient power and makes you use a windmill, and then
47:44
Speaker 1: the prices go up, and there's the intermittent power, there
47:47
Speaker 1: are brownouts. It's costing the industries. Basically, their entire industry
47:52
Speaker 1: is fleeing because the price has gotten so expensive. Enter
47:55
Speaker 1: a government solution. This is so much like Obamacare and
47:58
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen subsidies. So Germany has now agreed to
48:02
Speaker 1: subsidize electricity for at least heavy industry, which means they're
48:06
Speaker 1: capping prices per kilowatt hour in order to save the
48:10
Speaker 1: industrial base from basically leaving because of the energy costs
48:14
Speaker 1: are so damn expensive in Europe, they pay double what
48:17
Speaker 1: we pay here double and they don't have to. They're
48:22
Speaker 1: surrounded by an abundance of you know, carbon based energy production.
48:26
Speaker 1: They used to have nukes with the only with the
48:27
Speaker 1: exception of France, who saw that would be stupid to
48:30
Speaker 1: cut off their noses by their face, Germany got rid
48:33
Speaker 1: of all theirs. Germany's power market as happens to be
48:37
Speaker 1: the largest in Europe, and they pointed out that since
48:41
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, the energy crisis, then power prices have
48:44
Speaker 1: remained volatile, spiking again this fall is renewable generation faltered
48:49
Speaker 1: and gas fired output surged to its highest level since
48:53
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Wait a minute, I thought we were
48:54
Speaker 1: supposed to get rid of that evil carbon produced energy.
48:57
Speaker 1: Low wind speeds, weak hydro output and grid bottomnecks force
49:02
Speaker 1: Germany to burn more natural gas and coal to stabilize supply.
49:06
Speaker 1: The operative word being stabilized, because you need stable electricity
49:09
Speaker 1: for a factory to actor or to be able to
49:11
Speaker 1: build automobiles for example. Industry groups are you ready, here
49:16
Speaker 1: we go, Come on. Obamacare subsidies shut down parallels. Industry
49:23
Speaker 1: groups say these temporary subsidies temporary essential to prevent production
49:28
Speaker 1: from shifting overseas, Critics pointing out in only papers over
49:32
Speaker 1: deeper structural problems in this case with energy production, aging,
49:37
Speaker 1: infrastructure permitting, and unreliable renewable output. In the case of Obamacare,
49:42
Speaker 1: of course, the fact that it just doesn't work premiums
49:47
Speaker 1: keep going up because the number of claims being paid
49:49
Speaker 1: under Obamacare, the premiums don't cover it. Enter an increase
49:53
Speaker 1: in premium. Let's cover up the increase in premium by
49:56
Speaker 1: offering it well for free. We'll give everybody a tax subsidy. Know,
49:59
Speaker 1: the premium didn't go away, it just landed in the
50:01
Speaker 1: American taxpayer's pocket to pay. And that what of when
50:07
Speaker 1: the subsidies end. To this point, Berlin hopes the three
50:14
Speaker 1: year relief period brought about by these subsidies will buy
50:17
Speaker 1: time to extend grid capacity and add flexible generation. Analysts
50:22
Speaker 1: those saying unless those projects materialize quickly, the country's got
50:25
Speaker 1: to be facing another round of industrial contraction by the
50:27
Speaker 1: decades and when there's six when these subsidies end. So
50:33
Speaker 1: it's temporary, and it probably will allow some of these
50:35
Speaker 1: elected officials to say, no, no, no, it's all under control.
50:38
Speaker 1: The industry is getting all these subsidies. So then I
50:40
Speaker 1: feel in the pain from the stupid energy generation of
50:43
Speaker 1: policies we pursued. So let's just kick back and not
50:47
Speaker 1: add flexible generation in the form of nuke's, coal, natural gas.
50:51
Speaker 1: Let's just let the windmills work while the subsidies rain,
50:54
Speaker 1: and our deficits go bigger and bigger and bigger. It's Obamacare.
50:59
Speaker 1: And instead of the belief that you know, the extension
51:03
Speaker 1: of these subsidies would buy us time during COVID, so
51:06
Speaker 1: we'll get through COVID and everybody everything will go back
51:08
Speaker 1: to status quo. The Democrat strategy was not to change
51:12
Speaker 1: Obamacare fundamentally alter how it works so it becomes more
51:15
Speaker 1: affordable on its own. It was, of course, these subsidies.
51:18
Speaker 1: The subsidies were set to expire. COVID's expired. They haven't
51:23
Speaker 1: come up with a solution to fix the problem. Naturally,
51:26
Speaker 1: they want to extend the subsidies, masking the insanity that
51:32
Speaker 1: Obamacare is. Terry's on the phone, Terry, hang on if
51:35
Speaker 1: you don't mind. It's six twenty fund a Tuesday, A
51:37
Speaker 1: happy one to you. Five one, three, seven, four nine
51:39
Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred eighty two three talk tun five to
51:42
Speaker 1: fifty on AT and T phones. Thanks to Terry who
51:44
Speaker 1: held over the Breakterr, I appreciate you holding. Welcome to
51:46
Speaker 1: the show.
51:47
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning. Well we were talking about the the
51:52
Speaker 2: oil and how Terry is funding. But you remember when
51:55
Speaker 2: sawed Lusseain used oil as a terrorist weapon and spewed
51:59
Speaker 2: out about a hundred and ten years worth of oil.
52:02
Speaker 2: Didn't affect the weather much at all because drifted, you know,
52:06
Speaker 2: to the east, and when you look up the weather
52:09
Speaker 2: patterns they really didn't change.
52:10
Speaker 1: Probably not. And you know, there's all kinds of volcanoes
52:13
Speaker 1: that blow up every year, and those belch out more
52:16
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide and more pollutants than anything we can do
52:19
Speaker 1: to negate that from the atmosphere. But yeah, you're right,
52:22
Speaker 1: Terry Little. I remember that lit them all on fire
52:25
Speaker 1: was kind of stupid and acting environmental disaster, But I
52:27
Speaker 1: don't remember anyone complaining about global warming as a consequence
52:30
Speaker 1: of that.
52:30
Speaker 2: Terry to you, well, no, that's that's what when they
52:34
Speaker 2: were talking about. I had college classes, you know, here
52:36
Speaker 2: and there I had to take when I was on
52:38
Speaker 2: active duty. And then I asked the professor, I said,
52:40
Speaker 2: what about the oil well fire study? What oil fires
52:45
Speaker 2: long than Kuwait? One hundred and ten years worth of
52:47
Speaker 2: oil went up in the air. That should be an indicator.
52:50
Speaker 2: Did you follow it?
52:51
Speaker 1: Did we?
52:52
Speaker 2: I said, I don't see any temperature changes or anything else.
52:55
Speaker 2: What you allude to, you know.
52:57
Speaker 1: Terry, you stumbled another issue here that I think is
52:59
Speaker 1: worthy of elaborating on. And let me thank you for
53:01
Speaker 1: your service to our country. But since you did serve
53:04
Speaker 1: the American militaries all over the globe, how much carbon
53:08
Speaker 1: do side? Do you think America's military belches out annually?
53:10
Speaker 1: How much carbon dioxide and global warming pollutants are emitted
53:14
Speaker 1: as a consequence of Russia and Ukraine fighting each other,
53:17
Speaker 1: or Russia and the Hamas fighting each other. We could
53:19
Speaker 1: go on and on and on, couldn't we? But I've
53:21
Speaker 1: never heard of global warming alarmist talk about that at all.
53:24
Speaker 1: Nor do I hear from Democrats, like for example, who
53:27
Speaker 1: are interested in continuing to fund Ukraine and fight Russia.
53:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they don't ever want to talk about the
53:32
Speaker 2: Democratic president that gave rise to our nuclear navy, and
53:35
Speaker 2: that was Jimmy Carter.
53:36
Speaker 1: That's a good point too, nuclear navy that's been working. Actually,
53:39
Speaker 1: I've had nuclear ships in the in the water since
53:41
Speaker 1: late nineteen fifties and not a single accident.
53:44
Speaker 2: Terry.
53:44
Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it.
53:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I said, go to President Jimmy Carter. He
53:49
Speaker 2: believed in nuclear power because he worked on it his
53:51
Speaker 2: whole military career.
53:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, all right, he hadn't.
53:55
Speaker 10: Great the points.
53:56
Speaker 1: Terry always welcome to call the show with great points.
53:58
Speaker 1: You can feel free to call it as well. What
54:01
Speaker 1: do you think of this, since I grew up on
54:04
Speaker 1: the West Side and I'm painfully familiar with this area
54:07
Speaker 1: that the City of Cincinnati is now deciding to now
54:10
Speaker 1: is installing center turn lane bumps Glenaway Avenue between Ralph
54:13
Speaker 1: and Gurley, described as part of a pilot program to
54:17
Speaker 1: address uns saved drivers over in West Price Hill. The
54:21
Speaker 1: bumps seven feet wide three inches tall, apparently designed in
54:27
Speaker 1: this particular case to keep live drivers in their lanes
54:30
Speaker 1: rather than using the center turn lane to weave in
54:32
Speaker 1: and out of traffic. So you have idiots, so you're
54:35
Speaker 1: going to be slowed down there and anyplace else. They
54:37
Speaker 1: put these in because idiots, rather than wait in line
54:39
Speaker 1: for their turn to reach the intersection and drive through
54:42
Speaker 1: or take a left or right, are going around you
54:45
Speaker 1: using the center lane and then jumping back in front
54:48
Speaker 1: of you. Wilissa McVeigh, Department of Transportation Engineering, said city
54:56
Speaker 1: senior planner. We've been hearing from folks on the West
54:59
Speaker 1: Price Hill that there are some wild drivers that have
55:01
Speaker 1: been using the turn lane on Glenways a way to
55:03
Speaker 1: sort of pass slower and weave in and out of traffic,
55:06
Speaker 1: and this was making residents feel really unsafe. Welcome to
55:11
Speaker 1: speed bumps on Gloomway Avenue. Apparently, according to her, drivers
55:17
Speaker 1: going over these bumps at anything above fifteen miles per
55:20
Speaker 1: hour will, in her words, feel it kind of like
55:25
Speaker 1: literally driving at any speed up and down sunset for
55:29
Speaker 1: the past twenty years. Man facing several charges after he
55:33
Speaker 1: led police on a pursuit and a stolen car, ending
55:36
Speaker 1: in a crash to cause serious injuries to another driver.
55:38
Speaker 1: Twenty year old Derek Banks charged with failure to comply
55:41
Speaker 1: receiving stolen property in Flordia's assault after he allegedly pointed
55:44
Speaker 1: a gun at a Springfield police officer over Saturday night
55:47
Speaker 1: while driving a vehicle from Green Hills, then began to
55:52
Speaker 1: flee police, heading north on Ice seventy five before getting
55:55
Speaker 1: on State Route one twenty three to Franklin. In Franklin,
55:58
Speaker 1: he crashed into a van from behind at the intersection
56:01
Speaker 1: is sixth and Maine, causing serious injuries to the woman
56:03
Speaker 1: in the van. Stay Patrol Middletown's and Middletown said Banks
56:07
Speaker 1: also crashed into a Middletown police cruiser head on held
56:13
Speaker 1: on a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond. Troopers
56:16
Speaker 1: said he will face additional charges depending on the conditions
56:18
Speaker 1: of the woman he crashed into. Family of the bystanders
56:21
Speaker 1: said that she is in the hospital with severe broken bones.
56:27
Speaker 1: Six thirty five fifty five k SEA the talk station
56:31
Speaker 1: Gay to Heaven Cemetery. I'm fifty five carsite talk station.
56:34
Speaker 1: Have you Tuesday?
56:36
Speaker 3: Ken.
56:36
Speaker 1: Thanks to Gary, Jeff Walker, and Dan Carroll for covering
56:39
Speaker 1: for me last Friday and yesterday, respectively. Appreciate them doing
56:42
Speaker 1: that so I could take a couple of days off.
56:43
Speaker 1: And I always appreciate hearing from west Side Jim. West
56:45
Speaker 1: Side Jim kind of expected maybe to hear from you.
56:48
Speaker 1: Is this in concert? Does this relate to the story
56:50
Speaker 1: that I read about the speed arms on Glenway Avenue?
56:53
Speaker 1: My friend?
56:54
Speaker 11: Hey, Yeah, Brian, good morning Ice pleasure that one that
56:58
Speaker 11: I test, That's what I text you about day. Yeah,
57:01
Speaker 11: there's four or five of these, I can't remember. I've
57:04
Speaker 11: counted them a couple of times, but they're not the
57:06
Speaker 11: standard speed humps, the ones that you see in the
57:10
Speaker 11: middle of the street, and they mark hump on them
57:13
Speaker 11: are wider and higher than what these are. These they
57:17
Speaker 11: dug up the street in the middle lane. Of course
57:20
Speaker 11: what you read not to be repetitious, but they're black top,
57:26
Speaker 11: and what they do is they put a little yellow
57:28
Speaker 11: arrow on it. Gone both ways, but they're smaller and
57:32
Speaker 11: if you logistically drive in between, you can hit these.
57:39
Speaker 11: You can still go sixty miles an hour and not
57:41
Speaker 11: hit these humps. Now, if you look at the humps,
57:45
Speaker 11: the old speed humps on the edges, they're all racked
57:49
Speaker 11: up because I guess the trucks during the winter tore
57:54
Speaker 11: these things up on the ends. So I guess they've
57:57
Speaker 11: kind of learned their lesson go ahead.
57:59
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, no, no, I.
58:00
Speaker 1: Just was responding, hm. I wasn't aware that they deteriorated
58:03
Speaker 1: that way. I had a question though, for you, because
58:06
Speaker 1: when I saw that you were calling, and I did
58:08
Speaker 1: joke around, I guess Sunset is finally being repaved.
58:12
Speaker 11: That's what Kevin Aldred said.
58:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so let's assume that is the case. But
58:16
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, considering how terrible that street
58:20
Speaker 1: has been for so many years, that you really you
58:22
Speaker 1: really can't speed on it, or you do so at
58:24
Speaker 1: your own peril and the resulting risk of maybe damaging
58:27
Speaker 1: a rim or having to have your car realigned. Wouldn't
58:30
Speaker 1: it be easier rather than dealing with these speeders and
58:33
Speaker 1: these idiots are driving around the roads and then put
58:35
Speaker 1: speed bumps in. Why don't just let all the roads
58:37
Speaker 1: fall apart like Sunset to the point where you can't speed.
58:40
Speaker 11: On them, or you could dig them up instead of
58:46
Speaker 11: repairing them and put the rose holes.
58:49
Speaker 1: In dirt roads. Well, and that would be more aligned
58:53
Speaker 1: with have to Have Pearvall's idea about greening the city.
58:56
Speaker 1: And he's not interested in having you know, well unless
58:58
Speaker 1: you're you're you're with this new contrast project project the
59:02
Speaker 1: largest and over the Rhne. He's not interested in allowing
59:04
Speaker 1: you to build housing with garages in it, right, He's
59:07
Speaker 1: not interested in parking lots because his goal is to
59:09
Speaker 1: get rid of the cars and have since any to
59:11
Speaker 1: be this walking community. So maybe that is the direction
59:15
Speaker 1: to go for a have to Have provo. Just don't compare
59:17
Speaker 1: the red.
59:18
Speaker 11: That's ridiculous too. But I'll keep you up on Sunset
59:21
Speaker 11: with pictures and so forth on the production of it.
59:24
Speaker 3: But no those.
59:26
Speaker 11: I don't think that those new so called speed humps
59:29
Speaker 11: are going to stop these crazies, man, I mean, you
59:32
Speaker 11: wouldn't believe it. You got to constantly look. If you're
59:34
Speaker 11: going to turn into let's say, Price Heal Chili, they're
59:37
Speaker 11: a shot, and you do what you're supposed to do.
59:40
Speaker 11: You drive down the street and then when you want
59:42
Speaker 11: to turn in there about maybe fifty seventy five feet
59:45
Speaker 11: you put your turn signal on, which most people don't
59:47
Speaker 11: know what that thing and what a turn signal is. Yeah,
59:50
Speaker 11: and then you get in that lane and turn in there.
59:54
Speaker 11: And these people are nuts. I mean, they don't like
59:58
Speaker 11: sitting in line. And the city ca this problem because
1:00:01
Speaker 11: of putting in speed humps farther down, so all the
1:00:05
Speaker 11: traffic backs up, and they don't want to sit there
1:00:08
Speaker 11: and wait and guarantee you.
1:00:12
Speaker 7: Or higher.
1:00:13
Speaker 11: These people do not have insurance and so forth, because
1:00:16
Speaker 11: you can tell by the cars and they're all beat up.
1:00:20
Speaker 11: And yeah, I'm I'm stereotyping them, but I don't want
1:00:23
Speaker 11: to get hit by one of these clowns. I mean,
1:00:25
Speaker 11: I don't want to have to pay my own insurance
1:00:28
Speaker 11: out of this thing to fix my car.
1:00:30
Speaker 1: Well, obviously this is apparently and you know, I was
1:00:33
Speaker 1: kind of questioning whether this was that serious a problem
1:00:36
Speaker 1: that they had to put these things in in an
1:00:38
Speaker 1: effort to stop it. And I understand they're looking for solutions, Jim,
1:00:41
Speaker 1: but you're confirming that it is as bad, if not worse,
1:00:45
Speaker 1: than I've read about. I didn't realize this was such
1:00:48
Speaker 1: a big problem. And if that is a place where
1:00:50
Speaker 1: there's massive numbers of traffic violations and might I underscore
1:00:53
Speaker 1: extremely dangerous ones as you describe it, why isn't there
1:00:57
Speaker 1: a better police presence there? That'll be like shooting fishing
1:01:00
Speaker 1: a barrow in terms of issuing citations.
1:01:03
Speaker 11: Well, there's a lot of cops. Especially when a gun run,
1:01:06
Speaker 11: you'll see six to eight cop cars go flying down
1:01:09
Speaker 11: and they use that center lane. So I don't know
1:01:12
Speaker 11: what's going to happen with that, with the fire trucks,
1:01:15
Speaker 11: the ambulances and the police cars. When there's an emergency
1:01:18
Speaker 11: and then the traffic's all backed up, they're going to
1:01:20
Speaker 11: have to use that lane with all the speed humps
1:01:22
Speaker 11: in it too. And not that I'm gonna get off
1:01:26
Speaker 11: my grass kind of a guy, but these these speed humps,
1:01:31
Speaker 11: I don't think we're that necessary to the business owners
1:01:34
Speaker 11: up there, and I talked to a couple of them.
1:01:36
Speaker 11: They liked the idea of these going in because of
1:01:38
Speaker 11: the fact of people flying by unless they can't get
1:01:42
Speaker 11: into their businesses.
1:01:44
Speaker 1: No, I get that. I just if it's that big
1:01:47
Speaker 1: of a problem, I mean, if you had a regular
1:01:49
Speaker 1: police cruiser there just for the purpose of issuing citations
1:01:52
Speaker 1: for these idiots, that wouldn't that stop that from happening.
1:01:56
Speaker 1: Greater police presidents, less crime. I mean, I don't unders
1:02:00
Speaker 1: stay in the allocation of police resources in these complicated
1:02:02
Speaker 1: times we have. But again, you generate revenue for the city,
1:02:05
Speaker 1: why don't they jack up the price for that type
1:02:07
Speaker 1: of traffic offense to make it something really, really really expensive,
1:02:11
Speaker 1: you know, like five hundred dollars for trying to pass
1:02:13
Speaker 1: in the center lane might stop people from doing it
1:02:16
Speaker 1: if they started issuing more citations of folks. I don't know,
1:02:19
Speaker 1: it just seems like I just I'm just shocked that
1:02:21
Speaker 1: it's that bad of a problem.
1:02:23
Speaker 11: Well, I agree with you, Ryan, but all of a sudden,
1:02:25
Speaker 11: they're going to go to court, and you know what
1:02:26
Speaker 11: happens when they go to court and you get some
1:02:28
Speaker 11: liberal judge up there that's going to think that we're
1:02:31
Speaker 11: going on the oppressed type of a person, and they're
1:02:34
Speaker 11: going to think that, well, that's only a traffic citation.
1:02:37
Speaker 1: Well wait a minute, are do only the oppressed commit
1:02:40
Speaker 1: traffic violations like that?
1:02:43
Speaker 5: Now?
1:02:43
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I think that's.
1:02:46
Speaker 11: To you that the majority of the people that are
1:02:49
Speaker 11: doing this, especially in Price Hill, are the oppressed type
1:02:54
Speaker 11: of a person. I mean, if you just look inside
1:02:56
Speaker 11: the car and see the lady that is going to
1:02:59
Speaker 11: Walmart up here with twelve kids in the car and
1:03:02
Speaker 11: there's all kind of garbage and stuff in the car. Yes, yeah,
1:03:06
Speaker 11: there is a problem.
1:03:07
Speaker 1: I am. I am because I know people like that
1:03:10
Speaker 1: a fluid like let's say, white guys with a short
1:03:13
Speaker 1: temper who refuse to abide by the rules because they
1:03:16
Speaker 1: don't think it applies to them and are busy to
1:03:18
Speaker 1: go on their merry way to get their stuff done
1:03:20
Speaker 1: because it's more important than following the law. If there's
1:03:22
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that I would not,
1:03:24
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form called disadvantaged.
1:03:28
Speaker 11: Well, you know, getting back to the speed humps, I
1:03:30
Speaker 11: agree with you, But getting back to those speed humps,
1:03:32
Speaker 11: I just don't know how the trucks in the winter
1:03:35
Speaker 11: are going to handle these things either, because if they
1:03:38
Speaker 11: were tearing up the corner edges of the concrete ones,
1:03:42
Speaker 11: what are they going to do with blacktop? I mean
1:03:44
Speaker 11: when you take one of those blades down. Yeah, yeah,
1:03:46
Speaker 11: one of those trucks, they're going to hit these blacktop
1:03:49
Speaker 11: and they're gonna be out there repairing these things constantly
1:03:52
Speaker 11: because it's only blacktop. I watched them do this. They
1:03:55
Speaker 11: dug up, they put bricks down underneath the blacktop, and
1:03:59
Speaker 11: then they just put black top.
1:04:00
Speaker 5: On the top.
1:04:00
Speaker 11: There's no like three bar and stuff like that in there.
1:04:04
Speaker 11: I watched him do this for a week. I mean,
1:04:07
Speaker 11: got a horrible life.
1:04:08
Speaker 1: Well way, don't you think that the powers that be
1:04:13
Speaker 1: that come up with these solutions would anticipate that at
1:04:16
Speaker 1: some point we're gonna get snowed on and that a
1:04:18
Speaker 1: snow plow with that massive blade is going to have
1:04:20
Speaker 1: to go over them, that they have engineered them in
1:04:23
Speaker 1: such a way that that's not going to happen, or
1:04:25
Speaker 1: maybe it might giving them too much credit for advanced planning, Jim.
1:04:29
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's that's it, right, Yeah, Okay, you're talking about
1:04:32
Speaker 11: the city. Brian you're talking about the city of Cincinnati.
1:04:35
Speaker 11: Are you kidding me?
1:04:36
Speaker 1: That's called a low slow softball, and you just effectively
1:04:40
Speaker 1: hit it out of the park. Thank you, Westside Jim.
1:04:42
Speaker 1: I love your brother anyway.
1:04:43

1:05:11
Speaker 1: A further Local News didn't get to this, but I'm
1:05:13
Speaker 1: kind of scratching my head, and let me start by
1:05:14
Speaker 1: saying this, this project, I think is a good project.
1:05:18
Speaker 1: I love the city of Cincinnati. I like when private
1:05:21
Speaker 1: developers can choose their own path. I like when developments
1:05:24
Speaker 1: get approved, and this one seems to answer a lot
1:05:27
Speaker 1: of people's questions about housing. Although it does not have
1:05:30
Speaker 1: anything to do with affordable housing, and yet here we
1:05:32
Speaker 1: go Buckingham Companies now have opened this building. It's called
1:05:35
Speaker 1: contrast Otr. And thank you to Brian Panelapp of since
1:05:40
Speaker 1: a business career for passing along the info on this
1:05:42
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollar development. He points out it faced
1:05:46
Speaker 1: nine years of community opposition. What's it got. It's got
1:05:52
Speaker 1: a lot of apartments, two hundred and seventy six apartments.
1:05:58
Speaker 1: It's eleven square feet of ground floor commercial space along
1:06:04
Speaker 1: the streetcar line. It's on the north side of Liberty
1:06:06
Speaker 1: between Elm and Central Parkway, and it's huge. What does
1:06:11
Speaker 1: it gut in it thirteen hundred and seventy four dollars apartments.
1:06:15
Speaker 1: Studio apartments start at thirteen seventy seventy four. So if
1:06:20
Speaker 1: you want to jump up to a single back a
1:06:22
Speaker 1: full bedroom, I think it's a little bit more money
1:06:24
Speaker 1: than that. Notably so I mentioned studio. It started in
1:06:29
Speaker 1: a monthly rent of thirteen seventy four. One bedroom start
1:06:33
Speaker 1: at fifteen hundred dollars, and then you get your two
1:06:35
Speaker 1: and three bedroom units, the largest of which coming into
1:06:38
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and ninety eight square feet. Hey, Joe, how's
1:06:41
Speaker 1: this sound for monthly rent four thousand, nine hundred and
1:06:44
Speaker 1: seven dollars four nine hundred and seven. And I think
1:06:51
Speaker 1: about that, what that would translate into a monthly mortgage
1:06:56
Speaker 1: payment where you would actually be building up equity over time.
1:07:00
Speaker 1: That is renting an apartment the right way to go.
1:07:04
Speaker 1: I mean, we were talking a couple of days ago,
1:07:06
Speaker 1: a week ago or so, about these fifty year mortgages,
1:07:08
Speaker 1: and you know whatever I mean, I view a fifty
1:07:11
Speaker 1: year mortgages maybe a bad thing. You're going to be
1:07:13
Speaker 1: settled with mortgage debt the rest of your life. No,
1:07:15
Speaker 1: you can refinance. Mortgage rates or interest rates are invariably
1:07:18
Speaker 1: going to go down at some point. You can lock
1:07:20
Speaker 1: into a lower interest rate in a shorter term, but
1:07:22
Speaker 1: you get equity in return, unlike an apartment where you
1:07:25
Speaker 1: were saddled with rent every single month forever without any
1:07:28
Speaker 1: equity built in. So there's you know, an argument that
1:07:30
Speaker 1: you can make about that. Hey, look it's got parking
1:07:33
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety four parking spaces for one hundred
1:07:36
Speaker 1: and ninety four of the two hundred and seventy five
1:07:38
Speaker 1: or two undred and seventy six apartments, So they have that,
1:07:44
Speaker 1: and does anybody know if this is consistent with the
1:07:46
Speaker 1: connected communities that have to have. Pearlvoll has shoved down
1:07:49
Speaker 1: all the all the neighborhoods, you know, throats.
1:07:56
Speaker 3: That.
1:07:56
Speaker 1: I'm happy though that private company they're keeping the property,
1:08:00
Speaker 1: they're gonna own it, they're gonna manage it, they're gonna
1:08:02
Speaker 1: run it, and they're gonna make profit off of it.
1:08:05
Speaker 1: Isn't that the way it's supposed to work? So six
1:08:08
Speaker 1: fifty six, fifty five KRCD Talk Station were to talk
1:08:10
Speaker 1: about in the seven o'clock hour, and I certainly would
1:08:12
Speaker 1: love to hear from you, So feel free to call

1:09:05
Speaker 1: was really a cool time. Get a wonderful, wonderful time
1:09:08
Speaker 1: doing that. Going over to the phones five on three
1:09:11
Speaker 1: seven two three talk count Fay fifty on AT and
1:09:14
Speaker 1: T phones. Going to start with Corey, Jim hang on
1:09:16
Speaker 1: and get you next. Corey, thanks for calling this morning.
1:09:20
Speaker 6: Good morning Brian and calling today from Crawfordville, Indiana.
1:09:24
Speaker 11: All right, listening to the apps black.
1:09:27
Speaker 1: Always, thank you very much, appreciate it.
1:09:31
Speaker 7: Wellt's solution the speeding problems.
1:09:33
Speaker 6: We can always ban Dodge chargers and Nissan Maximus.
1:09:37
Speaker 11: That might do it.
1:09:37
Speaker 6: I don't know, but here's the thought that charge I.
1:09:43
Speaker 1: Could possibly let's lit the chargers in the maximums. How
1:09:47
Speaker 1: did you pick those two cars out of all the
1:09:49
Speaker 1: cars out in the world.
1:09:52
Speaker 6: It seems like those some type of cars that like
1:09:55
Speaker 6: to uh drive radically and might be beat up.
1:09:58
Speaker 1: All right, all right to that. The solution is not
1:10:01
Speaker 1: speed bumps. The solution is to put everyone behind the
1:10:04
Speaker 1: wheel of a buick because apparently you can't even reach
1:10:07
Speaker 1: the speed limited to it, So go ahead, Cory, that's right.
1:10:11
Speaker 6: But one other thing I can see in the future
1:10:13
Speaker 6: coming with all the technology, very very possible, as if
1:10:18
Speaker 6: you have your phone and you're driving, use your GPS.
1:10:21
Speaker 6: Your phone can tell you what the speed limit is
1:10:23
Speaker 6: in that area you're driving. I can see in the
1:10:25
Speaker 6: future the cars only allowing you to go what the
1:10:29
Speaker 6: speed limit is on the road you're driving on.
1:10:31
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. And with Big Brother, with Big
1:10:34
Speaker 1: Brother watching, insurance companies are going to hook up to
1:10:37
Speaker 1: your car as well by the data find out if
1:10:39
Speaker 1: you are a speeder or you're not a speeder, and
1:10:41
Speaker 1: then you're got premium is going to be adjusted real time. Accordingly,
1:10:44
Speaker 1: that's a mechanism to get people to slow down if
1:10:46
Speaker 1: you're going to be paying for it every single time
1:10:48
Speaker 1: and they're going to know about a real time that
1:10:49
Speaker 1: you're speeding or violating the law, I can see that coming.
1:10:52
Speaker 1: But you know, I got to tell you. We have
1:10:54
Speaker 1: a Kia tell you rides a couple of years old.
1:10:56
Speaker 1: We just bought it recently, so we've got to use car.
1:10:58
Speaker 1: It's got this the post speed limen built into the electronics,
1:11:01
Speaker 1: so it's on a pop up screen. It says thirty
1:11:04
Speaker 1: five mile per hour zone. So there's no denying how
1:11:07
Speaker 1: fast you were. Your your speed limit is what your
1:11:10
Speaker 1: speed limit is in the car, So that's already arrived.
1:11:14
Speaker 1: Well appreciate Corey. So it's chargers in the silence. Jim,
1:11:20
Speaker 1: welcome to the program. Thanks for call this morning. Happy Tuesday,
1:11:24
Speaker 1: Still morning, Brian.
1:11:25
Speaker 3: I just have to chuckle about these high interest rates.
1:11:29
Speaker 3: I lived during a quarter inflation boom, and when I
1:11:32
Speaker 3: moved to the company moved me to Phillip from Harrisburg,
1:11:37
Speaker 3: PA and eighty four, they gave me a really good deal.
1:11:42
Speaker 3: I got a twelve percent interest in rate because the
1:11:45
Speaker 3: company moved me and I was paying like they were
1:11:48
Speaker 3: thirteen in Harrisburg. Yeah, so six point five as well.
1:11:52
Speaker 3: That would have been great back then.
1:11:54
Speaker 1: But you know it would have and you know I listen, Jim,
1:11:57
Speaker 1: I have said many many times. The first house my
1:11:59
Speaker 1: wife and I I bought in Oak Park, Illinois, we
1:12:01
Speaker 1: were up in Chicago. Decided we want to have place
1:12:03
Speaker 1: for him for the purpose of building equity. We bought down,
1:12:07
Speaker 1: bought down with three points. We had three points. We
1:12:10
Speaker 1: paid to get down to eight and an eighth on
1:12:14
Speaker 1: a seven to twenty three balloon, not even a thirty
1:12:16
Speaker 1: year fixed mortgage. It was eight in a eight, so
1:12:18
Speaker 1: you know, three points in what we negotiated. So the
1:12:21
Speaker 1: seller paid the points. We paid more than the house
1:12:23
Speaker 1: was worth to get the three points, so because we
1:12:26
Speaker 1: didn't have that kind of money in our pocket. But
1:12:27
Speaker 1: it all worked out. But still we bought eight in
1:12:31
Speaker 1: an eighth on a seven to twenty three balloon. So
1:12:33
Speaker 1: you know, I see six percent interest rates on a
1:12:35
Speaker 1: thirty year fix and I'm like, well, you know what,
1:12:37
Speaker 1: I would have jumped all over that in our first house.
1:12:40
Speaker 1: I mean it was actually a great that's an impossible
1:12:42
Speaker 1: rate back then, nineteen ninety fun. So yeah, so it
1:12:49
Speaker 1: is so Jim, is your point kind of like suck
1:12:51
Speaker 1: it up, buttercup kind of thing.
1:12:53
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, this is I mean, I'm sorry, but
1:12:58
Speaker 3: the idiots got the first race down. There's zero at overnight.
1:13:04
Speaker 3: The FED was insane. That's what's caused all this in
1:13:07
Speaker 3: place that we're playing side prices for, is it? And
1:13:10
Speaker 3: we weren't charging proper interest rates at the time.
1:13:13
Speaker 2: Well in six percent, it's not a.
1:13:14
Speaker 3: Bad interest rate.
1:13:15
Speaker 1: Now now that's not And you talk about the sub
1:13:17
Speaker 1: primaries where people that got out of bankruptcy. Yesterday we
1:13:20
Speaker 1: were able to get four hundred thousand dollars loans. Today
1:13:23
Speaker 1: you had a real problem on your hands. That is terrible,
1:13:25
Speaker 1: terrible actuarial work. You want to find out if someone
1:13:29
Speaker 1: can't afford the loan that you're giving them, and none
1:13:31
Speaker 1: of that was done at all during the bubble, and
1:13:33
Speaker 1: of course it burst. But then again, I will give
1:13:36
Speaker 1: a nod to people who are saying yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well,
1:13:38
Speaker 1: you know, suck at a buttercup. But there's very few
1:13:40
Speaker 1: houses available. That's the problem. This laws of supplying the
1:13:44
Speaker 1: man have kicked in the market. Forces are a lot
1:13:46
Speaker 1: different in the real estate market than they were ten, fifteen,
1:13:49
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years ago, obviously post COVID, and then we
1:13:52
Speaker 1: have an influx of twenty thirty million illegal immigrants in
1:13:55
Speaker 1: this country. While they may not be able to purchase
1:13:57
Speaker 1: a home, they need a place to stay. That has
1:14:00
Speaker 1: a ripple effect. You know, everybody's got to find a
1:14:03
Speaker 1: place to stay. So what's out there and available is
1:14:07
Speaker 1: not nearly as much because the population has also gone
1:14:10
Speaker 1: up over that period of time. So it's not as
1:14:12
Speaker 1: simple as just saying, you know, if the interest rates
1:14:14
Speaker 1: were lower, people could afford to buy a house. Now,
1:14:16
Speaker 1: I think if the interest rates were lower, there'll be
1:14:18
Speaker 1: more people out in the market looking for a house,
1:14:20
Speaker 1: and all the available stock, as limited as it is,
1:14:23
Speaker 1: laws of supply and demand would mean the price of
1:14:25
Speaker 1: houses would just go up. More more people could afford
1:14:28
Speaker 1: to buy at a certain rate will be out into
1:14:30
Speaker 1: the market, and then that would have a ripple effect
1:14:32
Speaker 1: of causing those otherwise maybe affordable houses to go up
1:14:36
Speaker 1: in price. It's crazy what's going on. What we need
1:14:38
Speaker 1: is more housing stock and that's the key, So getting
1:14:46
Speaker 1: builders out there to build houses that are considered quote
1:14:49
Speaker 1: unquote affordable, not as much profit margin in those lots
1:14:53
Speaker 1: of people with the ability to buy are looking for
1:14:55
Speaker 1: higher end homes, even if smaller, much higher end in
1:14:59
Speaker 1: terms of a manag nobody's out there building your basic
1:15:02
Speaker 1: you know, two hundred thousand dollars square or two hundred
1:15:04
Speaker 1: thousand dollars home at you know, for twelve hundred square
1:15:07
Speaker 1: feet they're building you know, three thousand, four thousand, five
1:15:10
Speaker 1: thousand square foot. You know, sometimes you get into that
1:15:13
Speaker 1: mick mansion area, which I've never understood, but you know,
1:15:16
Speaker 1: you do what you want with your money anyway, Very
1:15:19
Speaker 1: complicated reality going on, very see here seven four nine
1:15:24
Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred eight two three talk pound five fifty
1:15:27
Speaker 1: on eighteen t Fondes looks like today's day. I haven't
1:15:28
Speaker 1: even mentioned it this morning because the bubbles seem to
1:15:30
Speaker 1: be burst on this whole Jeffrey Epstein file release thing
1:15:33
Speaker 1: over the weekend. When Donald Trump said finally on Sunday, well,
1:15:38
Speaker 1: it looks like one hundred plus Republicans in Congress are
1:15:40
Speaker 1: ready to defy me, so uh, go ahead, release him,
1:15:46
Speaker 1: it was truth social late Sunday walked back his opposition.
1:15:49
Speaker 1: He said House Republicans should vote to release the files,
1:15:51
Speaker 1: quote because we have nothing to hide. I'm all for it,
1:15:55
Speaker 1: he said, after well campaigning to release them and then
1:15:59
Speaker 1: walking back his promised to release them, saying we don't
1:16:01
Speaker 1: need to release them. There's nothing there there, which caused
1:16:03
Speaker 1: more problems I think among the Republicans than Democrats. Democrats
1:16:06
Speaker 1: have kind of been crazy on this whole issue. They
1:16:08
Speaker 1: had these files, and they had the Biden administration, they
1:16:11
Speaker 1: had control. They could have released them a long time ago.
1:16:13
Speaker 1: They didn't do it then, and that was back when
1:16:17
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was clamoring to release them. So I really
1:16:19
Speaker 1: am curious to know what the hell changed after the
1:16:22
Speaker 1: election to make him change his mind in the first place,
1:16:24
Speaker 1: and make all the Democrats change their mind and now
1:16:26
Speaker 1: adopt this position. It's really important to release the Epstein files.
1:16:31
Speaker 1: So I got my popcorn out, and it's going to
1:16:33
Speaker 1: happen as early as today. Last year, I guess earlier
1:16:38
Speaker 1: this year, even FBI director said, after an exhausted review
1:16:42
Speaker 1: of the case file, no basis to revisit the disclosure exists.
1:16:46
Speaker 1: In other words, there's no reason to let them go. Hmm.
1:16:55
Speaker 1: If you can reconcile that change of position from Trump's
1:16:58
Speaker 1: side of the equation, understand it, and I disagree with
1:17:02
Speaker 1: you know, him shifting gears and trying to stop them
1:17:04
Speaker 1: from being released. Maybe there is nothing there. Maybe there
1:17:09
Speaker 1: is The one looming question that's burning around all this
1:17:12
Speaker 1: is where are the prosecutions for the women who have
1:17:14
Speaker 1: come forward, identified themselves and claimed they were molested by
1:17:18
Speaker 1: this guy and others that hung around with them. Does
1:17:22
Speaker 1: that bear a political stripe? Interesting justice for those people
1:17:28
Speaker 1: I mean, are those that worked with Epstein, whether or
1:17:31
Speaker 1: not they were engaged with sexual conduct. Those that worked
1:17:34
Speaker 1: with him, texted him even somewhile on the floor of
1:17:38
Speaker 1: Congress seeking advice during Q and as. Why would you
1:17:43
Speaker 1: do that? That's a great question. I want to know
1:17:44
Speaker 1: the answer to that. How was it Epstein wielded so
1:17:47
Speaker 1: much power and that he was the go to guy
1:17:48
Speaker 1: for well consultations along those lines and relationship counselor too.
1:17:53
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of articles about that, people seeking out
1:17:57
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein to talk to him about the women that
1:17:59
Speaker 1: they were suing. Weird is that the reason that Donald
1:18:03
Speaker 1: Trump changed his mind? All these powerful, influential people giving
1:18:07
Speaker 1: him a phone call, whispering in his ear, maybe even
1:18:09
Speaker 1: sending him a text saying, please, Dear God, my name's
1:18:12
Speaker 1: in there. I don't want to be involved. I don't
1:18:14
Speaker 1: want to have to explain this to my wife or
1:18:16
Speaker 1: husband as the case, maybe let's just put the lid
1:18:19
Speaker 1: on this now. Being in Trump's position, I wouldn't bow
1:18:24
Speaker 1: to that kind of pressure. I'm already on record demanding
1:18:26
Speaker 1: that they be released. So everybody's got questions swirling around this, Why,
1:18:32
Speaker 1: what change, what happened? And ultimately what's in there? And
1:18:36
Speaker 1: hopefully nothing It w be just the passing distraction. Story,
1:18:44
Speaker 1: and maybe that's what it was designed to be. All along,
1:18:47
Speaker 1: I'm still left with more questions than I've got seven
1:18:49
Speaker 1: sixteen Right now, Paul, you're gonna be next if you
1:18:52
Speaker 1: don't mind him brief hold here, I want to mention
1:18:54
Speaker 1: USA installation. This is it. You're running out of time.
1:18:57
Speaker 1: Get the USA phone installed talkstation seven twenty one and
1:19:02
Speaker 1: fifty five krsity talk station. Feel free to call me
1:19:05
Speaker 1: any number of directions. We can go with the top
1:19:07
Speaker 1: of your conversation to what Paul's got here five one, three,
1:19:10
Speaker 1: seven two three talk Paul, Thanks for calling this morning.
1:19:13
Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday to you.
1:19:16
Speaker 6: Oh thank you, Brian. I just wanted to let you
1:19:18
Speaker 6: know the whole thing with this Epstein deal. His mom
1:19:21
Speaker 6: said in a note, said go ahead and release the files.
1:19:25
Speaker 1: Mom.
1:19:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, so reference to seventies Welcome Back Cotter. Oh but
1:19:31
Speaker 6: I'm a little older than you, so that's no.
1:19:34
Speaker 1: I remember watching Welcome Back Conner. Just I didn't get
1:19:38
Speaker 1: the mom reference. I just just wondering get act with this.
1:19:41
Speaker 1: Someone had changed Trump's mind, right, I mean the first
1:19:44
Speaker 1: first off, the first time someone had to change it
1:19:47
Speaker 1: hit from his position. Let's release the files. I am
1:19:50
Speaker 1: campaigning on, get these files out there, let's expose these evildoers.
1:19:54
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, next next minute, it's no,
1:19:56
Speaker 1: we don't need them, nothing to release, nothing to see here.
1:19:58
Speaker 1: We've looked, we've been through them. We don't need and
1:20:01
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a second, And now he's changed his
1:20:02
Speaker 1: mind again. At least we can point to this time
1:20:05
Speaker 1: he had to change his mind because all the Republicans
1:20:07
Speaker 1: were lined up to go ahead and vote these things
1:20:09
Speaker 1: out in the public. For all the reasons I was
1:20:11
Speaker 1: talking about in the last segment. You can't hide behind it.
1:20:14
Speaker 1: There's no explaining Trump's change this out.
1:20:18
Speaker 6: It absolutely needs out. Get it, get it out, Let
1:20:22
Speaker 6: the chips fall, you know, and they're gonna go where
1:20:25
Speaker 6: they're gonna go. And that's just the way it's gotta be.
1:20:28
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:20:28
Speaker 6: But the housing thing, uh, as I remember again being
1:20:34
Speaker 6: a little older than you used to be, when somebody
1:20:38
Speaker 6: bought a house or part of the reason was affordable
1:20:43
Speaker 6: was it had single car garages if any. Yep, bedrooms
1:20:48
Speaker 6: were eight foot by ten foot, except the master, which
1:20:51
Speaker 6: might be ten by fourteen. Yeah, it didn't have a dishwasher,
1:20:56
Speaker 6: it didn't have central air, it was just there. This
1:21:00
Speaker 6: were not the kind of homes that anybody would even
1:21:05
Speaker 6: want today.
1:21:07
Speaker 1: Well, our attitudes have changed because we've become so damn
1:21:10
Speaker 1: wealthy and used to all the amenities. You are dead on, right.
1:21:13
Speaker 1: I think of my grandfather, my mom's father and mother.
1:21:16
Speaker 1: They lived in a very small, very modest house on
1:21:19
Speaker 1: Cooper Drive in Lexington, Kentucky, probably twelve hundred square feet
1:21:23
Speaker 1: if you had a couple of bedrooms on the first floor.
1:21:26
Speaker 1: My mom's very tiny. You're right, You accurately described it.
1:21:29
Speaker 1: Twelve by ten basically, and she didn't really live there
1:21:31
Speaker 1: much because she was older when they bought the house,
1:21:33
Speaker 1: but that was designated her bedroom. Then they had the
1:21:35
Speaker 1: master bedroom again, you're right, maybe fourteen by fifteen, and
1:21:39
Speaker 1: that was it except for the upstairs, which they had
1:21:41
Speaker 1: converted into a single, three bedroom bedroom. Right, all three
1:21:46
Speaker 1: beds that my uncles slept on, twin beds, single beds upstairs.
1:21:50
Speaker 1: That's how you lived. I never remember being unhappy. I
1:21:53
Speaker 1: never remember looking down my nose at the place when
1:21:55
Speaker 1: I went and visited. It was an awesome place. It
1:21:57
Speaker 1: was grandma and Grandpa's. And could you live in a
1:21:59
Speaker 1: place that absolutely square foot wise, no problem? You could
1:22:03
Speaker 1: have ac and amenities. You think about Frank Lloyd right,
1:22:06
Speaker 1: Usonian builds back in the fifties, those are about eleven twelve,
1:22:09
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and fourteen hundred square feet, very minimalist, although
1:22:13
Speaker 1: beautiful on their own right. Architecturally speaking, you could go
1:22:15
Speaker 1: with something like that a lot, and that would be
1:22:18
Speaker 1: less money to heat and air condition too, right, Paul.
1:22:21
Speaker 6: Oh, absolutely loft his ceilings.
1:22:23
Speaker 1: No, it's the same thing as cars. I think of
1:22:27
Speaker 1: this car that we have now to tell you ride
1:22:29
Speaker 1: just got it a couple of years old. It's got
1:22:31
Speaker 1: more things on it that you can shake a stick at.
1:22:33
Speaker 1: I mean, Lord almighty, the technology built into this thing.
1:22:36
Speaker 1: They even told me I didn't want to buy the
1:22:38
Speaker 1: extended warranty for the computer system, and the guy tries
1:22:41
Speaker 1: to give me the hard sell. If you got to
1:22:42
Speaker 1: replace a computer system, it's more money than than then
1:22:45
Speaker 1: replacing the entire engine. So did I need all that stuff?
1:22:49
Speaker 1: Did I go out shopping for all that stuff?
1:22:52
Speaker 5: No?
1:22:52
Speaker 1: But there it was got all the things that we
1:22:55
Speaker 1: do need, the size we need for our house and
1:22:57
Speaker 1: dealing with the dogs and everything else, and so you
1:22:59
Speaker 1: got all that extra stuff bundled with it. But was it.
1:23:02
Speaker 1: Is it really necessary? Do I need a backup camera?
1:23:05
Speaker 1: I'm capable. I've been driving my entire life. I can
1:23:08
Speaker 1: live with that a backup camera. Apparently they're mandatory in
1:23:10
Speaker 1: all cars. Now, well, there you go, cost of driving
1:23:12
Speaker 1: the car's gone up, and then moving away from homes
1:23:15
Speaker 1: and just looking at global warming and all these crazy ideas. No,
1:23:17
Speaker 1: you can't have gas hookups anymore. Every appliance you have
1:23:20
Speaker 1: must be energy certified, you know, and running electricity. You're
1:23:24
Speaker 1: not allowed to have any difference in appliance. It's just
1:23:28
Speaker 1: edicts and mandates and these higher expectations.
1:23:30
Speaker 3: We have.
1:23:33
Speaker 1: Lots of reasons, and I think you're right on that point.
1:23:35
Speaker 1: Seven twenty five fifty five Carcit talk station Prestige interiors
1:23:39
Speaker 1: for seeing the talk station seven thirty years fifty five
1:23:43
Speaker 1: krs the talk station Happy Tuesday. Yeah, Michael, you're right.
1:23:48
Speaker 1: He's just talking about cars and all the features they
1:23:51
Speaker 1: have to have on them.
1:23:51
Speaker 11: Now.
1:23:51
Speaker 1: I love abs breaks, for example, I feel safer on
1:23:54
Speaker 1: the road because you have abs in your car mandated now.
1:24:00
Speaker 1: But he said, don't forget they have high intensity lights.
1:24:05
Speaker 1: He's the ones that blind the crap out of you.
1:24:07
Speaker 1: He said, we survived on sealed beams growing up, and
1:24:11
Speaker 1: he also put it out that they cost a lot
1:24:12
Speaker 1: of money to fix. Yeah, that's true, we did survive,
1:24:14
Speaker 1: but I put it out just barely. I do not
1:24:18
Speaker 1: like the blinding effect of those lights either. But man,
1:24:20
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, you can sure see a hell of a
1:24:22
Speaker 1: lot better mixed driving at night that much safe or
1:24:25
Speaker 1: more safe. So I know the arguments in favor of
1:24:28
Speaker 1: all these mandates on automobiles and what they must include,
1:24:32
Speaker 1: but that has really really impacted affordability dramatically. So all right,
1:24:41
Speaker 1: let us see here back to some local stories. This
1:24:44
Speaker 1: is a weird thing. Metro busses aren't going down to
1:24:47
Speaker 1: Government Square as often as they used to, and nobody
1:24:49
Speaker 1: knew about this number. Government Square the highlight and the
1:24:52
Speaker 1: hotbed of all the youths beating each other up in
1:24:56
Speaker 1: congregation and unruly behavior and just general a lot of
1:24:59
Speaker 1: criminal activit. That's where the buses are all drop off everybody.
1:25:02
Speaker 1: That's where they congregate. Apparently kids from different schools don't
1:25:06
Speaker 1: get along with each other. They like to fight. So
1:25:08
Speaker 1: that's the genesis of the problems. So what do you
1:25:10
Speaker 1: do to fix it? Some suggested more law enforcement. Well,
1:25:14
Speaker 1: Metro's decided to detour eight of ten buses from the
1:25:19
Speaker 1: Government Square stop downtown. It's been going on for a
1:25:22
Speaker 1: while and mayor have to have Purvoll apparently is behind this.
1:25:24
Speaker 1: Thank you Patricia Gallagher Newberry of the enquire for letting
1:25:28
Speaker 1: me know about this. More than two hundred Metro buses
1:25:31
Speaker 1: are now skipping trips two or away from Fifth and
1:25:35
Speaker 1: Walnut and now picking up and dropping off riders at
1:25:39
Speaker 1: the two impacted routes a few blocks away. Apparently a
1:25:46
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't know about this. Pervoll caught out
1:25:50
Speaker 1: Metro at a mid October press conference Metro's Government Square location.
1:25:55
Speaker 1: He said, in his words, the hub that is bringing
1:25:57
Speaker 1: a lot of the criminal element into in a concentrate
1:26:00
Speaker 1: away into these specific areas. So after some shootings on
1:26:03
Speaker 1: Fountain Square in mid October left a couple people with
1:26:07
Speaker 1: minor wounds, Purvoll said fourteenth on the fourteenth of the
1:26:11
Speaker 1: press event last month, rerouting buses absolutely has to be
1:26:14
Speaker 1: a part of the conversation. Metro in response that it
1:26:18
Speaker 1: would be considering ways to improve safety at Government Square,
1:26:20
Speaker 1: but didn't respond to the Enquires then questions about whether
1:26:23
Speaker 1: it would reroute buses, but emails obtained by the Enquirre
1:26:26
Speaker 1: via public records request, which they had to comply with,
1:26:29
Speaker 1: showed that it's already pulled two hundred and thirty nine
1:26:32
Speaker 1: buses every day away from Government Square. Pervoll wrote to
1:26:39
Speaker 1: Metro CEO earlier in October the City of Cincinnati's directing
1:26:43
Speaker 1: Soda to temporarily reduce the number of routes at the
1:26:46
Speaker 1: corner of Fifth and Walnut within forty eight hours, citing
1:26:49
Speaker 1: ongoing events in the urban core and saying the city
1:26:51
Speaker 1: needed time to develop improvements in the area. And they
1:26:56
Speaker 1: said they'd comply within twenty four hours, and apparently they did.
1:27:02
Speaker 1: H accordance with your directive, Metro has created a plan
1:27:08
Speaker 1: to reduce the number of buses serving Area D that's
1:27:11
Speaker 1: one side of that Government Square, by approximately seventy nine percent.
1:27:16
Speaker 1: And here's a weird thing I didn't quite understand, And
1:27:18
Speaker 1: maybe somebody out there is smarter than me. Now the
1:27:22
Speaker 1: reporting suggests Perval ask Metro to look at its public
1:27:26
Speaker 1: safety presence at Fountain Square and Government Square with particular
1:27:32
Speaker 1: attention to illegal drug activity. That's a quote apparently from
1:27:35
Speaker 1: AFT have provol And then they report that Metro spends
1:27:38
Speaker 1: more than one million dollars a year to hire Cincinnati
1:27:43
Speaker 1: Police Department officers to monitor Government Square and other transit centers.
1:27:49
Speaker 1: Metro spokesperson Bradley Mason, speaking of the inquire against it,
1:27:52
Speaker 1: said it spends another two hundred thousand dollars plus to
1:27:55
Speaker 1: support the city's three to one one system for folks
1:27:57
Speaker 1: to report non emergency complaints. Pause for a minute. The
1:28:02
Speaker 1: since a police department has its own budget, Right, Government
1:28:07
Speaker 1: Square is part of the greater Cincinnati area. Right, isn't
1:28:12
Speaker 1: that part of the area that the Sin Sint Police
1:28:15
Speaker 1: Department should be patrolling? And if so, why would Metro
1:28:21
Speaker 1: be spending more than a million dollars a year to
1:28:22
Speaker 1: hire Sinceint Police Department officers to monitor that area. So
1:28:27
Speaker 1: we have a government funded service, the police being funded
1:28:33
Speaker 1: additionally by Metro, which is government funded. Well, as long
1:28:42
Speaker 1: as you include the fairs that they collect, it's partially
1:28:45
Speaker 1: government funded. So I don't understand that. I really don't
1:28:48
Speaker 1: And if you can explain it to me, police feel
1:28:50
Speaker 1: and feel free to give me a call. But bottom
1:28:52
Speaker 1: line is a lot of people are finding out that
1:28:54
Speaker 1: they're not going to the destination they thought they were going,
1:28:56
Speaker 1: they're getting dropped off several blocks away, some of them
1:28:58
Speaker 1: complaining that the lack of people and humanity in the
1:29:02
Speaker 1: area at dark hours makes them feel very, very afraid.
1:29:05
Speaker 1: Seven thirty five fifty five KR See the talk station
1:29:08
Speaker 1: happened yesterday. I saw a part of the proceeding station
1:29:13
Speaker 1: at seven forty on a Tuesday five hundred y two
1:29:19
Speaker 1: three talk. Just remind remember the Steinholding Championships on the
1:29:22
Speaker 1: twenty second coming up quickly. It's the super Bowl, the
1:29:24
Speaker 1: first ever super Bowl of Steinholding, right here in the
1:29:28
Speaker 1: city of Cincinnati. We're keeping it. They got a contract
1:29:30
Speaker 1: to keep it here for the next five or six years.
1:29:31
Speaker 1: Then we're going to be in competition. So, uh, you
1:29:34
Speaker 1: weren't there for the very first super Bowl? My dad was.
1:29:37
Speaker 1: He got a pennant from that. He got a pennant
1:29:40
Speaker 1: from every super Bowl he went to, and he only
1:29:41
Speaker 1: missed a handful of them over the years. But you
1:29:44
Speaker 1: can be there at the first one, at least in
1:29:46
Speaker 1: so far as the National Steinholding Championship is concerned. It's
1:29:49
Speaker 1: right there at fifty five cars dot com all the details.
1:29:51
Speaker 1: This morning. We're talking a lot about affordability. I mentioned
1:29:53
Speaker 1: the energy crisis, you know, us inflicting that wound on ourself,
1:29:56
Speaker 1: and everybody's waking up to the reality that no, we
1:29:59
Speaker 1: can't go. It's impossible. Data centers, China competition. They've duped
1:30:04
Speaker 1: us into and bamboodle us into this believing this religion
1:30:07
Speaker 1: that they're making money off of. This is like one
1:30:09
Speaker 1: of the worst Christian you know, fundamentalist minister setups of
1:30:14
Speaker 1: all time. You got the big, dynamic guy that has
1:30:17
Speaker 1: these millions and millions of people that are sending him
1:30:19
Speaker 1: money every day, and the next thing you know, you
1:30:20
Speaker 1: find out, well, he's corrupt, he's screwing around, he's a
1:30:23
Speaker 1: terrible human being, but he builked you out of all
1:30:25
Speaker 1: the money. His message is what you were drawn to.
1:30:31
Speaker 1: You didn't know what was going on, was what was
1:30:33
Speaker 1: happening with the money, but you thought it was going
1:30:34
Speaker 1: to go to for you know, higher purposes. China has
1:30:37
Speaker 1: duped you, much like that evil person, convincing you that
1:30:40
Speaker 1: we need to buy all of their products because you
1:30:43
Speaker 1: evil Western countries are killing the planet with your pollution
1:30:47
Speaker 1: by our windmills. We'll sell them at a loss, but
1:30:50
Speaker 1: we'll get you addicted to them, and we will busily
1:30:53
Speaker 1: build our own power infrastructure made off on legitimate, reliable
1:31:00
Speaker 1: sources like nuclear and coal and natural gas. Ahah, that's
1:31:06
Speaker 1: baked in to the equation. So we're all waking up
1:31:08
Speaker 1: to that now. So that article I read earlier on
1:31:10
Speaker 1: that and even got the housing crisis and everything else
1:31:14
Speaker 1: dealing with affordability. And that's the big political topic these
1:31:17
Speaker 1: days is affordability. And William mcgarrn wrote about this just
1:31:20
Speaker 1: the other day. At first he he provides a definition
1:31:25
Speaker 1: of Hutzbaugh, which that quality enshrined in a man who,
1:31:30
Speaker 1: having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the
1:31:32
Speaker 1: mercy of the court because he's an orphan. No, that's start.
1:31:37
Speaker 1: Today in Washington, we have a new example of hootsba
1:31:39
Speaker 1: coming from the form of Democrats who spent years making
1:31:42
Speaker 1: life more expensive for Americans and who propose fixes that
1:31:47
Speaker 1: reflect the same government first thinking that made things unaffordable
1:31:51
Speaker 1: in the first place. Does anybody really believe the answer
1:31:53
Speaker 1: that ails to what ails us is more government spending
1:31:56
Speaker 1: or yet another government program. And this is something I
1:31:58
Speaker 1: mentioned before. You got to obombacare with the subsidies, right,
1:32:01
Speaker 1: it's not affordable. It's following apart we subsidize to hide
1:32:04
Speaker 1: the true cost of it, and we create an extension
1:32:06
Speaker 1: of the subsidies because oh my god, COVID we have
1:32:09
Speaker 1: to you know, wave the premium on it. And then
1:32:11
Speaker 1: they want to extend them even more because well, it's
1:32:13
Speaker 1: a train wreck. I mentioned in the context of Germany.
1:32:16
Speaker 1: Germany goes full on green renewable energy, closes its nuclear pants,
1:32:20
Speaker 1: and now it plants and is now a subsidizing industry.
1:32:23
Speaker 1: So government, meaning the taxpayers, are now funding the electricity
1:32:27
Speaker 1: bills of industry. Oh, it's only for a few years
1:32:31
Speaker 1: until we get back on track and create more reliable
1:32:33
Speaker 1: energy sources. But yeah, they thought that they were going
1:32:36
Speaker 1: to reelect it and extend these subsidies into forever under Obamacare.
1:32:39
Speaker 1: Didn't work out that well. Will the Germans build a
1:32:42
Speaker 1: new infrastructure over the next three years of these subsidies.
1:32:44
Speaker 1: Probably not. But that's a government solution to a problem
1:32:46
Speaker 1: that government created. This should be an opportunity for President
1:32:52
Speaker 1: Trump and Republicans mcgirn, right, so they could point out
1:32:54
Speaker 1: that most of the time Democratic proposals to make things
1:32:57
Speaker 1: affordable simply shift who gets stuck with a bill? Where
1:33:02
Speaker 1: were the Democrats now hollering about affordability during the first
1:33:05
Speaker 1: four years, when President Biden was spending regulating an otherwise
1:33:07
Speaker 1: expanding government in ways that priced the American dream out
1:33:11
Speaker 1: of reach for millions. Good question. William. Take one example,
1:33:16
Speaker 1: when Biden entered the Oval office in twenty twenty one,
1:33:18
Speaker 1: the median age of first time home buyers with thirty three.
1:33:21
Speaker 1: Now it's a record forty for most families. That means
1:33:24
Speaker 1: they can't even think about buying a home until their
1:33:26
Speaker 1: children are grown. Democrats have an answer, but it's wrong socialism.
1:33:35
Speaker 1: Joe Strecker observed that he thinks Mayor aftab Perval is
1:33:38
Speaker 1: sitting behind his desk watching mom Donnie in New York
1:33:42
Speaker 1: seek to have price controls on rent. You know, the
1:33:46
Speaker 1: old rent control. Hm. Let's see if it works there.
1:33:49
Speaker 1: They will take this brand new development at Liberty and
1:33:52
Speaker 1: Walnut and make those fifteen thous or fifteen hundred dollars
1:33:55
Speaker 1: a month affordable homes. Well, let's turn them down to
1:33:58
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty. We'll see if the developer likes that. Sorry,
1:34:03
Speaker 1: Democrats have an answer, socialism, He says, it wasn't that
1:34:07
Speaker 1: long ago. The Bertie Sanders with a gadfly from Vermont.
1:34:09
Speaker 1: But with the Democrats, Socialist of America Zoron Mamdami's decisive
1:34:14
Speaker 1: election as mayor of New York and fellow socialist Katie
1:34:17
Speaker 1: Wilson triumphant in Seattle, these socialists are threatened to transform
1:34:21
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party in their image. On Sunday Fox News,
1:34:24
Speaker 1: a Democratic former Chief Council a House Judiciary Committee Julian
1:34:28
Speaker 1: Epstein summed up where the party is. He said, the
1:34:33
Speaker 1: problem with the Democratic Party is that all the energy
1:34:36
Speaker 1: and charisma is with the socialist left. The moderates are
1:34:39
Speaker 1: a dying breed right now. Moderates have no leverage, they
1:34:43
Speaker 1: have no organized principles, they have no ideas, and that's
1:34:46
Speaker 1: why the party is going increasingly left. That's a Democrat
1:34:51
Speaker 1: problem right now. Republicans have their own challenges. For one thing,
1:34:54
Speaker 1: no one is going to confuse mister Trump with Adam Smith.
1:34:58
Speaker 1: With The country today needs is less go government, lower taxes,
1:35:01
Speaker 1: and lighter regulations to unleash the creative energies of the
1:35:04
Speaker 1: American people. Instead of a so bold an agenda, Republicans
1:35:09
Speaker 1: offer better management, which isn't enough management in the form
1:35:14
Speaker 1: of faring out fraud, waste, and abuse. For example, I
1:35:16
Speaker 1: will interject Trump has an incredible achievements and has pushed
1:35:20
Speaker 1: to get America back to work, but he hasn't hesitated
1:35:22
Speaker 1: to intervene in the economy, notably imposing tariffs. Last week,
1:35:26
Speaker 1: he was compelled to roll back duties on more than
1:35:27
Speaker 1: two hundred agricultural products, including coffee and beef, because they
1:35:31
Speaker 1: were proving counterproductive. It makes for a confusing message. The
1:35:35
Speaker 1: classic free market approach is to recognize that government's job
1:35:39
Speaker 1: is to create the conditions for Americans to better themselves.
1:35:45
Speaker 1: The government ensures a sound currency, the rule of law,
1:35:47
Speaker 1: in space for people to use their talents in the marketplace.
1:35:50
Speaker 1: We elect Republicans are we at least we used to
1:35:52
Speaker 1: not because they better manage the economy because they know
1:35:55
Speaker 1: it is hubrious to assume that the smart people with
1:35:58
Speaker 1: political power can pick winners and losers and what is
1:36:01
Speaker 1: the right and what the right price should be. Look
1:36:04
Speaker 1: at the three markets that affect American families the most, education, housing,
1:36:07
Speaker 1: and healthcare. It'd be hard to find markets that have
1:36:10
Speaker 1: had as much government involvement as these, and what a
1:36:14
Speaker 1: disaster that has been, especially in the democratic stronghold of
1:36:17
Speaker 1: America's big cities, take Obamacare please. When Congress was considering
1:36:23
Speaker 1: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Active, Americans heard reassurances
1:36:26
Speaker 1: that even its most ardent defenders couldn't believe. Remember how
1:36:29
Speaker 1: Obamacare would be bend the cost curve, ie, slow the
1:36:33
Speaker 1: rate of growth. How about if you liked your health
1:36:36
Speaker 1: care plan, you can keep it. How the bill wouldn't
1:36:39
Speaker 1: add a dime to the deficit.
1:36:41
Speaker 2: Huh.
1:36:42
Speaker 1: None of that turned out to be true. So here
1:36:43
Speaker 1: we are fifteen years later, in Congress is debating on
1:36:45
Speaker 1: whether expanded subsidies sold to the public as a temporary
1:36:49
Speaker 1: measure during COVID should expire. That's a conversation that Germans
1:36:53
Speaker 1: will be having about energy in three years. Americans are
1:36:56
Speaker 1: better off now than they were under Joe Biden, but
1:36:59
Speaker 1: their lingers an unease over whether the American dream is
1:37:02
Speaker 1: really back. Americans aren't going to like being told they
1:37:05
Speaker 1: are better off if they don't feel it in their
1:37:08
Speaker 1: own families. Good points William Good points seven forty eight,
1:37:15
Speaker 1: confusion of free market seven fifty two. If you give
1:37:20
Speaker 1: out KRC detalk station, Happy Tuesday. So government problem or
1:37:25
Speaker 1: government solutions come with a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse.
1:37:27
Speaker 1: Sort of continuing the theme here this morning, and I
1:37:29
Speaker 1: had a couple of articles about how many billions of
1:37:31
Speaker 1: dollars are stolen from SNAP, about twelve billion annually. People
1:37:36
Speaker 1: that are on it that should not be on it,
1:37:38
Speaker 1: People are enrolled in multiple programs that should not be well.
1:37:40
Speaker 1: Guess what Donald Trump administration's got a great idea, according
1:37:43
Speaker 1: to Agricultural Secretary Brook Rollins yesterday saying, the administration is
1:37:47
Speaker 1: going to require all participants in SNAP to reapply for benefits.
1:37:53
Speaker 1: This for the purpose of preventing fraud. And why wouldn't
1:37:55
Speaker 1: you want this? And think about being an elected official.
1:37:58
Speaker 1: They take your tax dollars from you, Republicans, Democrats, independents alike, socialists,
1:38:03
Speaker 1: everybody takes your money from you. Don't you think that
1:38:05
Speaker 1: you're deserving of a fiduciary obligation from them with how
1:38:09
Speaker 1: your money is managed? And that they everyone, all political stripes,
1:38:13
Speaker 1: has an obligation to ferret out fraud, waste and abuse.
1:38:15
Speaker 1: Isn't this something we can grab our hands around uniformly
1:38:18
Speaker 1: and say, you're right? The law says this person or
1:38:21
Speaker 1: this group of people or this category of people apply
1:38:24
Speaker 1: or can apply and qualify for it. And if you're
1:38:26
Speaker 1: not within that group, you don't qualify, and you're not
1:38:28
Speaker 1: allowed to get it. Simple right. Forty million Americans on
1:38:34
Speaker 1: the SNAP program and apparently a lot of fraud wasted abuse.
1:38:38
Speaker 1: So children states to share data on recipients right after
1:38:44
Speaker 1: taking office in February, but only twenty nine states agreed
1:38:47
Speaker 1: to do that. Limited data already revealed significant misuse. One
1:38:53
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six thousand dead individuals five hundred thousand
1:38:58
Speaker 1: people receiving SNAP fits in the states that took advantage
1:39:03
Speaker 1: of looking at their data against the federal data that
1:39:05
Speaker 1: previously was not available. The Biden administration made it impossible
1:39:08
Speaker 1: to get this data. Ask yourself why. Data from the
1:39:16
Speaker 1: Department of Agriculture indicate more than two hundred and twenty
1:39:18
Speaker 1: six thousand fraudulent benefit claims in more than six hundred
1:39:21
Speaker 1: and ninety one thousand fraudulent transactions were approved. This relates
1:39:27
Speaker 1: to SNAP households that did not authorize or not authorized.
1:39:32
Speaker 1: There's also card skimming and card cloning and other forms
1:39:35
Speaker 1: of electronic theft that are out there in the world,
1:39:37
Speaker 1: and they say organized. You know, foreign nationals are taking
1:39:41
Speaker 1: advantage of the holes in our system that are taking
1:39:44
Speaker 1: money out of the mouths of those who are really
1:39:46
Speaker 1: in need of it. So apparently, according to the ag
1:39:55
Speaker 1: Secretary of the Trump administration, is removed about seven hundred
1:39:58
Speaker 1: thousand people from SNAP. They've also rest of one hundred
1:40:00
Speaker 1: and eighteen people in connection with this fraud, but that
1:40:05
Speaker 1: this fraud exists. And I go back to the Biden
1:40:08
Speaker 1: administration by way, by contrast to the Trump administration, they
1:40:11
Speaker 1: had the resources, the means, and the ability to crack
1:40:14
Speaker 1: down on fraud, wasting abuse. These are people who are
1:40:17
Speaker 1: not allowed to be on it or otherwise criminal elements,
1:40:22
Speaker 1: and people who've registered from multiple different programs in multiple states.
1:40:28
Speaker 1: Why would any politician not want to go after this
1:40:32
Speaker 1: at minimum in an effort to bolster their own credibility.
1:40:35
Speaker 1: I fought for a SNAP. I fought against the shutdown
1:40:38
Speaker 1: because people were not getting the food that they needed.
1:40:40
Speaker 1: But you know what, I refuse to allow the SNAP
1:40:42
Speaker 1: to be raided by a bunch of criminals and by
1:40:45
Speaker 1: people who are you know, builking the system. That sounds
1:40:49
Speaker 1: like a message the demostrats should should embrace rather than
1:40:54
Speaker 1: cover up. Seven fifty six right now, fifty five K

Speaker 1: bright Bart since twenty ten and he focuses on human
1:41:45
Speaker 1: trafficking and cartel violence down at our southern border and
1:41:49
Speaker 1: involved with a project along with some other folks called

Speaker 1: the Cartel Chronicles, which allows well residents of Mexico citizen
1:41:56
Speaker 1: journalists that are anonymous to speak out about the reality
1:42:00
Speaker 1: of what's going on. Why do they have to be

Speaker 1: anonymous because the cartels will kill you, like they have
1:42:06
Speaker 1: so many people and politicians anybody else that dares speak
1:42:08
Speaker 1: out against them. Brandon Darby, Welcome to the Morning Show.
1:42:11
Speaker 1: It's a real pleasure to have you on today. You're
1:42:13
Speaker 1: doing an empower You seminar. That's a log in from
1:42:15
Speaker 1: home convenience seminar for my listeners. Empower You America dot
1:42:19
Speaker 1: Org begins at seven pm. It's good to have you
1:42:21
Speaker 1: on the program, and congratulations on the great work you've done.
1:42:24
Speaker 1: I guess you pissed off a lot of cartel members.
1:42:26
Speaker 5: Brandon, Yes, thank you for having me on. I'm glad
1:42:31
Speaker 5: to be here, very happy to be here having my coffee.
1:42:36
Speaker 5: I'm in Texas right now, so we're about an hour
1:42:39
Speaker 5: behind you having coffee. I'm just very happy to be
1:42:43
Speaker 5: here to share with your listeners what's going on. And yeah,
1:42:47
Speaker 5: we're having an empower You seminar tonight at seven pm
1:42:53
Speaker 5: and we are going to talk about how our project started,
1:43:00
Speaker 5: that our project does, and our project as a model
1:43:04
Speaker 5: for ways of dealing with problems in the world or
1:43:07
Speaker 5: in our country that seem insurmountable, because that's what we've done,
1:43:11
Speaker 5: is we've taken on a group of people who routinely
1:43:15
Speaker 5: killed journalists, kill everyone who challenges them, and we found
1:43:20
Speaker 5: a way to successfully challenge them and get Americans caring
1:43:25
Speaker 5: about this issue, caring about them. And now they're having
1:43:28
Speaker 5: a very difficult time operating because of the fact that
1:43:33
Speaker 5: they're getting exposed.
1:43:35
Speaker 1: Well, I guess I'm kind of curious to know. Listen,
1:43:39
Speaker 1: I've been hearing about cartels in Mexico for a long
1:43:41
Speaker 1: time now, most notably back in let's say, when I
1:43:44
Speaker 1: was in high school in the eighties and nineties, you
1:43:46
Speaker 1: heard about the cartels in South America. Columbia for example,
1:43:51
Speaker 1: immediately comes to mind. We got some big names in
1:43:53
Speaker 1: the cartel world have come up. But is this a
1:43:56
Speaker 1: more recent phenomenon of these cartels in Mexico.
1:44:01
Speaker 5: Well, the basic gist of it is that when there
1:44:05
Speaker 5: was always a cartel in Mexico, right, there was one
1:44:09
Speaker 5: specific large cartel, And what basically happened was the US
1:44:15
Speaker 5: went after cartels in Colombia, and so the Columbian said, Hey,
1:44:21
Speaker 5: we don't really want to fight with the US government
1:44:23
Speaker 5: any longer, and then this cartel in Mexico said, hey,
1:44:27
Speaker 5: why don't you just sell us the cocaine and we'll
1:44:30
Speaker 5: be the ones getting it into the United States. We'll
1:44:32
Speaker 5: take the risk, we'll take the heat, but will take
1:44:35
Speaker 5: a lot of the profits. So the Columbian said, okay,
1:44:37
Speaker 5: that sounds great. So in the process of that, the
1:44:42
Speaker 5: one major cartel in Mexico got really out of hand
1:44:46
Speaker 5: killed a usde agent, and Kiki came rain and tortured
1:44:49
Speaker 5: him ruthlessly, and the US went after that cartel. That
1:44:53
Speaker 5: cartel decentralized, and once it decentralized, all of those factions
1:44:58
Speaker 5: started to fight each other basically, and here we are today.
1:45:03
Speaker 5: So it's been a huge mess. That's the important thing
1:45:07
Speaker 5: for people to know. And I'm sure a lot of
1:45:10
Speaker 5: listeners do know this or have heard it, but many
1:45:14
Speaker 5: facets of Mexico's government are controlled by these cartels, and
1:45:21
Speaker 5: that poses a pretty significant problem for US security because
1:45:26
Speaker 5: you have our neighbor to the south where their government
1:45:29
Speaker 5: is primarily controlled by these paramilitary, transnational criminal organizations that
1:45:36
Speaker 5: we call cartels, and that poses unique challenges to our
1:45:40
Speaker 5: security and our safety, and not to mention just what
1:45:44
Speaker 5: it does to our loved ones who struggle with addictions
1:45:47
Speaker 5: and what have you. But just overall, it poses some
1:45:51
Speaker 5: major problems for US. It poses major security threats when
1:45:55
Speaker 5: you look at China constantly trying to influence that government
1:46:00
Speaker 5: ago and have relationships with these transnational criminal organizations. You know,
1:46:05
Speaker 5: China's constantly getting these major infrastructure contracts in Mexico. China
1:46:13
Speaker 5: is competing with US, yes, for influence in Mexico. That's
1:46:17
Speaker 5: a problem for US, right.
1:46:18
Speaker 1: And I presume that that also involves China working with
1:46:22
Speaker 1: the cartels who apparently are largely in charge. I think
1:46:25
Speaker 1: of the politicians, members of law enforcement, judges, they can't.
1:46:29
Speaker 1: If I was in their position, I'd be scared, live
1:46:32
Speaker 1: in daylight to be scared, I'd be all the time.
1:46:33
Speaker 1: To the extent I want to do something to make
1:46:35
Speaker 1: my neighborhood better. I want to go after the law.
1:46:37
Speaker 1: I want to engage in law enforcement, go after these
1:46:40
Speaker 1: cartels and prosecute them, convict them, whatever I can do.
1:46:43
Speaker 1: But the minute I raise a voice along those lines,
1:46:45
Speaker 1: I'm next on the hit list, right.
1:46:48
Speaker 5: That's right, And their families get murdered. There's a segment
1:46:52
Speaker 5: and they say plateo, O plomo and as do you
1:46:55
Speaker 5: want silver or do you want lead? We can make
1:46:57
Speaker 5: you rich, or we can kill you and all of
1:46:59
Speaker 5: your loved ones. And so most people choose to just
1:47:02
Speaker 5: accept the money and do what the various cartels in
1:47:05
Speaker 5: the region want.
1:47:06
Speaker 2: Them to do.
1:47:07
Speaker 5: But we found a very unique formula, like a recipe
1:47:12
Speaker 5: for really sticking it to these cartels that's worked. And
1:47:17
Speaker 5: what we realized is that these cartels don't want attention.
1:47:21
Speaker 5: And if people begin to shower attention, shower attention upon them,
1:47:28
Speaker 5: what happens is the US gets upset, then Mexico gets embarrassed,
1:47:32
Speaker 5: and then Mexico starts trying to address them, right, Mexico
1:47:36
Speaker 5: starts sending in the military and what have you. So
1:47:39
Speaker 5: what we've done is systematically go after various partel leaders,
1:47:44
Speaker 5: publish their photos, show who they really are and what
1:47:48
Speaker 5: they're doing, and then that ultimately leads to their capture
1:47:52
Speaker 5: or at least to their death. And you know, obviously
1:47:56
Speaker 5: there's a lot of work to do, but a lot
1:47:59
Speaker 5: of work been done. There's a lot of cartel bosses
1:48:02
Speaker 5: who are in US custody now who would not have
1:48:05
Speaker 5: been without our reporting. And there's a lot who are
1:48:07
Speaker 5: dead who would not have been without our reporting, and
1:48:10
Speaker 5: we're very proud of that, this recipe, because people in
1:48:14
Speaker 5: Mexico really can't speak out against them openly without getting murdered.
1:48:19
Speaker 5: But what we found, we took a gamble and we thought, Okay,
1:48:23
Speaker 5: we're us journalists, We're connected, right, we're brighte Bart, and
1:48:27
Speaker 5: we think that these guys are not going to want
1:48:30
Speaker 5: the heat of killing us. We think that we will
1:48:33
Speaker 5: get away with saying what we want to say where
1:48:36
Speaker 5: people in Mexico can't. And it turns out so far,
1:48:40
Speaker 5: god forbid, you know that changes. But so far they
1:48:44
Speaker 5: have not killed me. So it's been very successful. And
1:48:50
Speaker 5: you know, a lot of news outlets probably would want
1:48:53
Speaker 5: to do that, but their insurance won't let them, or
1:48:55
Speaker 5: their bosses won't let them because of the risk involved.
1:48:57
Speaker 5: But thankfully we worked for Bright and Breitbart is used
1:49:01
Speaker 5: to walking toward the fire, and Breitbart's used to take
1:49:04
Speaker 5: in these bold chances, and they allowed us to do that.
1:49:07
Speaker 1: Oh, Brandon, without question. And I have to give Breitbart
1:49:10
Speaker 1: all the props in the world for being one of
1:49:13
Speaker 1: the first, if not the first, to bring the open
1:49:15
Speaker 1: border reality to everyone's attention. You were there, you were
1:49:18
Speaker 1: on the border, m account of other places. You witnessed,
1:49:21
Speaker 1: you videoed, you photographed, you interview, the influx of humanity.
1:49:24
Speaker 1: It just was overwhelming and everyone meanwhile, I was trying
1:49:27
Speaker 1: to deny that that was happening. Oh, there's nothing going
1:49:29
Speaker 1: on down there, but he's logging Brightbard are like, Nope,
1:49:31
Speaker 1: there it is right there. I can see with my
1:49:32
Speaker 1: own eyes and read with my own eyes. I mean,
1:49:34
Speaker 1: it's You're a powerful force out there. And I guess,
1:49:37
Speaker 1: I guess, how is this going to help the Mexican government?
1:49:42
Speaker 1: I our being, I'm wondering, is this going to turn
1:49:45
Speaker 1: into like a Venezuela situation? Because we're moving more and
1:49:48
Speaker 1: more military hardware into Venezuela, obviously an epicenter of fentanyl
1:49:51
Speaker 1: and a lot of other drugs that are flowing out.
1:49:53
Speaker 1: But is this the direction we're going with Mexico or
1:49:56
Speaker 1: our relations with the Mexican government decent enough that we
1:50:01
Speaker 1: can actually effectuate working with them to bring about some
1:50:04
Speaker 1: change and get rid of these guys.
1:50:07
Speaker 5: Well, okay, so in Mexico everything is for sale. It
1:50:12
Speaker 5: is true that bad guys, to put it simply right,
1:50:17
Speaker 5: bad guys can buy their freedom, and bad guys can
1:50:20
Speaker 5: buy their way out of trouble. But it is also
1:50:23
Speaker 5: true that good guys can buy trouble for the bad guys, right,
1:50:29
Speaker 5: it just depends on who's the highest bidder, and that's
1:50:33
Speaker 5: where I think the US goes with this. You have
1:50:35
Speaker 5: to remember Mexico is full of a lot of good people,
1:50:38
Speaker 5: like most places in the world, and there are a
1:50:41
Speaker 5: lot of good people in Mexico who want to see change.
1:50:45
Speaker 5: You know, Mexico is listed as not a failed state,
1:50:48
Speaker 5: but a fragile state, meaning that it's teetering. It's teetering.
1:50:53
Speaker 5: You know. They have thirty two states in Mexico, and
1:50:56
Speaker 5: out of the thirty two states, more than half of
1:50:58
Speaker 5: them are actually under the physical control of these transnational
1:51:04
Speaker 5: criminal organizations. So the central government doesn't even have control
1:51:10
Speaker 5: over its territory. Right. These cartels do. Various cartels do,
1:51:15
Speaker 5: and people need to understand that. Like in the US,
1:51:18
Speaker 5: we can call nine one one if there's a bad
1:51:20
Speaker 5: guy somewhere, then ultimately the US marshals or the FBI
1:51:24
Speaker 5: or the DEA or can go and get this bad guy.
1:51:28
Speaker 5: But in Mexico, when there's a bad guy they want
1:51:30
Speaker 5: to get in over half of their states, they can't
1:51:33
Speaker 5: just send a few agents to go and arrest them.
1:51:35
Speaker 5: They have to send in their marines, they have to
1:51:37
Speaker 5: send in armored divisions to go and get these bad
1:51:41
Speaker 5: guys because they have heavy weaponry. They have drones, they
1:51:44
Speaker 5: have Russian made rpges, they have surface to air missiles.
1:51:49
Speaker 5: In some cases, these are little militaries within a greater country.
1:51:56
Speaker 5: So realizing all of that, you just have an Okay,
1:52:01
Speaker 5: there are people that the who the US can work
1:52:04
Speaker 5: with in Mexico, in Mexico's government to get things done
1:52:07
Speaker 5: and to get bad guys. But usually when it's done,
1:52:10
Speaker 5: it's done without the knowledge of the you know, the
1:52:13
Speaker 5: overall government, right it's done with with people. It's usually
1:52:18
Speaker 5: through the intelligence to me, the.
1:52:19
Speaker 1: Back channel communication, the government backchannel communications right right now, government.
1:52:25
Speaker 5: But not the government as a whole, because the government
1:52:28
Speaker 5: as a whole, even its current Secretary of Defense in Mexico,
1:52:32
Speaker 5: is heavily connected to one particular cartel Boston No Minshaw.
1:52:37
Speaker 5: And so what do you do in that situation? What
1:52:40
Speaker 5: you do is you work with you know, you don't
1:52:42
Speaker 5: really need US troops on the ground or boots on
1:52:45
Speaker 5: the ground. You just work with people in Mexico who
1:52:49
Speaker 5: who want to work with you, and you do it around,
1:52:52
Speaker 5: you know, behind the back of other people in Mexico.
1:52:55
Speaker 5: So that's what's going on. That's where this goes in Mexico.
1:52:57
Speaker 5: I don't think Mexico turns into Venezuela if we're vigilant,
1:53:02
Speaker 5: but it could if we're not. It could if we
1:53:05
Speaker 5: leave it alone. It could if we continue to let
1:53:08
Speaker 5: it fester as we did for you know, you have
1:53:11
Speaker 5: to remember, prior to twenty fifteen, maybe twenty sixteen, the
1:53:17
Speaker 5: Democratic Party line was that there's nothing going on here
1:53:20
Speaker 5: on the border, right, everything's cool, Status quo is okay,
1:53:24
Speaker 5: And clearly that's not the case as we all now see.
1:53:27
Speaker 1: Well, going back very briefly, that is China, I understand,
1:53:32
Speaker 1: trying to trying to get a foothold literally everywhere around
1:53:34
Speaker 1: the globe, doing great inroads in Africa. It's for their benefit,
1:53:37
Speaker 1: trying to substitute America's influence for theirs. I'm just kind
1:53:42
Speaker 1: of curious as we part company today, Brandon, is are
1:53:46
Speaker 1: the China is chrying to enjoying the benefits of working
1:53:49
Speaker 1: with these evil cartels or do they have a similar
1:53:52
Speaker 1: interest like we would in getting rid of them, To
1:53:55
Speaker 1: their benefit. In other words, all the Chinese helped us
1:53:57
Speaker 1: get rid of the cartels, We love them, and you're
1:53:59
Speaker 1: welcome to our country. Which direction is this going, Brandon.
1:54:04
Speaker 5: Well, I think that China is getting revenge on the
1:54:07
Speaker 5: West for that happened historically without theium in their country.
1:54:13
Speaker 5: You know, if you have a government like China that
1:54:15
Speaker 5: controls every facet, monitors every facet within their society, every
1:54:20
Speaker 5: facet of production, every facet of shipping, yet they're shipping
1:54:24
Speaker 5: all of the precursor chemicals with Mexican cartels to make
1:54:28
Speaker 5: sentidel and that's amphetamine, then then you would have to
1:54:32
Speaker 5: say that the central government of China knows exactly that
1:54:37
Speaker 5: they are shipping these precursors to Mexican cartels.
1:54:41
Speaker 1: It's a weapon of war. It's a weapon of war.
1:54:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, it's degrading us. And that's what China's attempting
1:54:47
Speaker 5: to do.
1:54:48
Speaker 1: Brandon Darby. Uh will if Donald Trump successfully negotiations and
1:54:52
Speaker 1: negotiates an agreement with China where they agree to help
1:54:55
Speaker 1: stop the flow of these precursor chemicals. Let's assume the
1:54:58
Speaker 1: impossible happens that in and of itself, wild go a
1:55:01
Speaker 1: long way to eradicate the cartels in Mexico. I would hope.
1:55:05
Speaker 5: Temporarily it would until I mean, you have to remember
1:55:09
Speaker 5: at this point these beasts are so entranched. Yes, they
1:55:13
Speaker 5: would just starting to produce their own pretersors.
1:55:16
Speaker 1: Fair enough, you could see that right on the horizon there.
1:55:19
Speaker 1: Brandon Darby join him tonight. It begins at seven pm.
1:55:21
Speaker 1: Empower Youamerica dot org. The site is currently not down.

Speaker 1: five krc B talk station. I'm just quick to draw
1:56:08
Speaker 1: some parallels between although it is not the hanging people
1:56:12
Speaker 1: from bridges kind of violence that the cartel's unleash upon
1:56:14
Speaker 1: people who disagree with them, but there seems to be
1:56:19
Speaker 1: an overwhelming component of that here in the United States
1:56:21
Speaker 1: as well. Again not necessarily as violent, but if you're
1:56:24
Speaker 1: an elected official, maybe you're on the bench, you're sitting
1:56:28
Speaker 1: there as a judge, maybe you're just on social media.
1:56:31
Speaker 1: I don't know, but there's a lot of anger and
1:56:33
Speaker 1: a lot of unleashing of vitriol and vile against people
1:56:36
Speaker 1: for what they do in their job as an elected official,
1:56:41
Speaker 1: as a judge for example. Of course, we all know
1:56:44
Speaker 1: the anger that was unleashed against law enforcement in this country.
1:56:46
Speaker 1: There are some politicians who do not believe in traditional
1:56:49
Speaker 1: methods of law enforcement. One of the reasons may be
1:56:51
Speaker 1: that they're getting a lot of pressure from these radical
1:56:53
Speaker 1: leftists in the form of threats of violence. We know
1:56:57
Speaker 1: all about them, You've read about them. It's been going
1:56:58
Speaker 1: on for a long time. But it's a frightening thing
1:57:02
Speaker 1: to think that our elected officials doing what they believe
1:57:06
Speaker 1: to be right for the betterment of all the you know,
1:57:08
Speaker 1: the United States, it's citizenry. They're constituents that they might
1:57:13
Speaker 1: capitulate to some evil actor out there because they're concerned
1:57:16
Speaker 1: about their own safety, their own well being. You know,
1:57:20
Speaker 1: there are crazies out there to try to assassinate politicians.
1:57:24
Speaker 1: Has that happened recently, Joe, you remember when that happened recently?
1:57:28
Speaker 1: You know, renowned officials, folks that are outstanding in terms
1:57:32
Speaker 1: of their political philosophy. And I don't recall any either,
1:57:34
Speaker 1: but you know, it is kind of a concern that
1:57:36
Speaker 1: might exist out there in the world. Daniel Davis Deep
1:57:39
Speaker 1: Dive coming up next. We talk a little bit about
1:57:41
Speaker 1: this Wow security u n goes with Trump and the
1:57:44
Speaker 1: Security Council. Also, will Ukraine be getting one hundred fighter
1:57:49
Speaker 1: jets from America?
1:57:50
Speaker 10: AMM fifty five krc the talk station.
1:57:54
Speaker 1: A twenty eight fifty five KRCD talk station. It's that
1:57:56
Speaker 1: time of the week, apploytment listening Daniel Davis Deep Dive.
1:58:01
Speaker 1: Retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis as a podcast called The
1:58:04
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis Deep Dive. You can find out wherever you
1:58:05
Speaker 1: get your podcasts, and we are blessed to have him
1:58:07
Speaker 1: on the fifty five Casee Morning Show every Tuesday at
1:58:09
Speaker 1: this time to talk about stuff and things, usually in
1:58:12
Speaker 1: the area of war and military activity. Welcome back, sir.
1:58:15
Speaker 1: It is a pleasure to have you on the fifty
1:58:16
Speaker 1: five Cassey Morning Show, my friend.
1:58:18
Speaker 8: Always a pleasure to be here, Brian, thanks for having
1:58:21
Speaker 8: me back.
1:58:21
Speaker 1: What is and let's start. I know you don't know
1:58:23
Speaker 1: what I want to start with, so here you go,
1:58:24
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis. I know you're capable of fielding your question
1:58:27
Speaker 1: from out in the world. The situation of the UN
1:58:29
Speaker 1: Security Council a thirteen to vote for President Trump's twenty
1:58:35
Speaker 1: point peace plan for Gaza, and call it what you will,
1:58:38
Speaker 1: but as I read this, and as I understand it,
1:58:43
Speaker 1: no recognition of a Palestinian state, the requirement that hamas
1:58:46
Speaker 1: disarming the Gaza demilitarized as a first step. And if
1:58:50
Speaker 1: you get to that part, then maybe we'll move on
1:58:52
Speaker 1: to what they'll call phase two. But for the most part,
1:58:55
Speaker 1: I found it interesting that the UN even approved this,
1:58:59
Speaker 1: and that Russia and or China didn't veto it, which
1:59:02
Speaker 1: they could have done. They abstained. So we have a
1:59:04
Speaker 1: thirteen to ozero vote, which I can't remember the last
1:59:07
Speaker 1: time a pro US military strategy or US policy was
1:59:12
Speaker 1: fully embraced and not just shot down out right. Now,
1:59:15
Speaker 1: you can correct me on my history, my recollection, Daniel Davis,
1:59:18
Speaker 1: But what's your reaction to at least the UN approving this,
1:59:21
Speaker 1: because normally I find them to be a completely worth
1:59:23
Speaker 1: its organization.
1:59:26
Speaker 9: Well, just look int terms of what actually happened. There
1:59:31
Speaker 9: was the Trump's twenty point piece plan form the foundation
1:59:34
Speaker 9: of this agreement, and there is actually point number seventeen.
1:59:38
Speaker 9: There is a provision that leads to the eventual Palestinian state.
1:59:41
Speaker 9: So at least aspirationally is part of the deal, and
1:59:46
Speaker 9: aspiration is far from a concrete action plan. So I
1:59:50
Speaker 9: we'll see how that works out. But the first issue
1:59:55
Speaker 9: is the fact that this was Trump's plan and it
1:59:57
Speaker 9: was agreed to a while all these parties.
1:59:59
Speaker 8: However, it's always you know some howevers.
2:00:02
Speaker 9: Here you have the opposition in the Israeli cabinet led
2:00:07
Speaker 9: by a guy named Lieberman. You have Smotrich and some
2:00:11
Speaker 9: of these others definitely against it, like vehemently against it.
2:00:15
Speaker 9: They think that it's a betrayal of of Israel, that
2:00:18
Speaker 9: it lays the foundation, especially because of this international Stabilization Force,
2:00:23
Speaker 9: it's supposed to come in and provide peace, et cetera.
2:00:25
Speaker 9: They're like that, that's gonna lay the foundation for our
2:00:27
Speaker 9: insecurity in the future. Then you have the Hamas side,
2:00:31
Speaker 9: and they just categorically rejected it. They said, no, we
2:00:33
Speaker 9: don't agree with this because it doesn't give enough benefits
2:00:36
Speaker 9: and freedoms to the and guarantees for the palaestinating people,
2:00:39
Speaker 9: et cetera. Everybody seems to like it, accept the Israelis
2:00:43
Speaker 9: in the in the Hamas side, So I'm not sure
2:00:45
Speaker 9: what to make of that. That's not entirely optimistic. But
2:00:49
Speaker 9: at least relatively speaking, the ceasefire is holding the casually
2:00:54
Speaker 9: count in the in the Gaza Strip, as opposed to
2:00:57
Speaker 9: the West Bank, where by the way, violence is spiking
2:00:59
Speaker 9: to to almost all time high levels.
2:01:02
Speaker 10: And let's not lose sight of that fact.
2:01:04
Speaker 9: But at least in the Gaza Strip, things are relatively holding,
2:01:07
Speaker 9: and as long as there's one more day without violence
2:01:11
Speaker 9: or limited violence in it to one more day, there's
2:01:13
Speaker 9: a chance that we can bring permanent.
2:01:15
Speaker 10: Peace to the situation.
2:01:16
Speaker 9: But we are way far from this turning into peace.
2:01:19
Speaker 9: This is just as you just pointed out. This is
2:01:21
Speaker 9: relatively This is kind of like phase one and a half,
2:01:24
Speaker 9: and now we have to do the hard part of
2:01:25
Speaker 9: phase two and we'll see how it goes from there.
2:01:28
Speaker 1: In terms of disarming, you know, getting I understand the concept,
2:01:33
Speaker 1: how does one bring that about? Obviously very complicated, especially
2:01:37
Speaker 1: when Hamas does not want to disarm. It's the only
2:01:39
Speaker 1: mechanism they have to contain or maintain any control or power.
2:01:42
Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess it depends what the Palestinian people
2:01:45
Speaker 1: want by way of leadership. Of course the physical space gaza.
2:01:48
Speaker 1: But how if they could achieve disarmament, would that come about?
2:01:52
Speaker 1: Giving Hamas's resistance.
2:01:55
Speaker 9: It's going to be incredibly difficult, and you're gonna have
2:01:58
Speaker 9: to have the participation in operation of the Palestinian people.
2:02:02
Speaker 9: And listen, this is one of the areas I've several
2:02:05
Speaker 9: times under your show here talking about how I've been
2:02:08
Speaker 9: upset at the Israeli side because they have used a
2:02:11
Speaker 9: lot of violence against the people and they have not
2:02:13
Speaker 9: been straightforward with what they said and what they did, etc.
2:02:16
Speaker 9: But I'll tell you right now, the Hummas they have
2:02:20
Speaker 9: to be put lots of pressure has to be put
2:02:22
Speaker 9: on them, and primarily I think by the Arab coalition
2:02:26
Speaker 9: and the Arab countries in there, because the longer they
2:02:29
Speaker 9: drag their feet, and if they actually say, well, we're
2:02:31
Speaker 9: not going to accept this, they have no leverage. All
2:02:33
Speaker 9: they can do is just be persistent and forget about
2:02:37
Speaker 9: trying to do anything that brings the war to an
2:02:39
Speaker 9: end and then bring more firepower on the people of Palestine.
2:02:42
Speaker 9: So they have nothing to gain except for as continuation
2:02:46
Speaker 9: of the war. And I really hope that both the
2:02:48
Speaker 9: Palestinian people and the Arabs in the area bring pressure
2:02:51
Speaker 9: on them to do exactly what it is. There's nothing
2:02:54
Speaker 9: for them to gain and everything for the Palestinian people
2:02:57
Speaker 9: to gain by them doing what they're supposed to.
2:03:00
Speaker 10: We'll see if it turns out that way.
2:03:01
Speaker 8: But that's the biggest impediment in the near term.
2:03:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's I want to draw a parallel
2:03:05
Speaker 1: to say something along the lines of will the Abraham
2:03:07
Speaker 1: Accords have gotten people to sort of put down their
2:03:09
Speaker 1: fighting words and agree to work together for a collective
2:03:13
Speaker 1: peace in the agreement in the region that coalition of
2:03:17
Speaker 1: I hope ever growing Arab countries that's the pressure that
2:03:21
Speaker 1: can help bring to bear on Hamas in the area.
2:03:24
Speaker 1: I mean, is that kind of a working coalition that
2:03:27
Speaker 1: can do that.
2:03:28
Speaker 9: It is, But we also bear in mind that especially
2:03:30
Speaker 9: the kingpin of this, the Saudi Arabia, they want they're
2:03:33
Speaker 9: willing to do that, but they also have pressure on
2:03:36
Speaker 9: the Israeli side because they said, listen, we'll expand the
2:03:39
Speaker 9: Abraham Accords and we'll talk more peace on that, but
2:03:42
Speaker 9: you have to at least provide a viable path to
2:03:45
Speaker 9: a Palestinian statehood or freedom, and of course Israel doesn't
2:03:49
Speaker 9: want to do that. They've been just categorically opposed. That's
2:03:51
Speaker 9: one of the things that the Israeli side is most
2:03:53
Speaker 9: opposed to in this UN deal because it has the
2:03:55
Speaker 9: aspiration toward that. And then you know, how much pressure
2:03:59
Speaker 9: is you that's going to bring on Israel to abide
2:04:01
Speaker 9: by their portion? How much will Saddi Rabi, who's meeting
2:04:04
Speaker 9: with Trump today by the way, how much pressure will
2:04:06
Speaker 9: they put on the Hamas.
2:04:08
Speaker 10: Side to do what they're supposed to do.
2:04:10
Speaker 9: So lots of people want peace, and so the matter
2:04:14
Speaker 9: of how much pressure they're going to put on the
2:04:15
Speaker 9: two sides to bring this all together.
2:04:18
Speaker 1: So who would be the ones arming Hamas on a
2:04:21
Speaker 1: going forward basis given that you know, Iran's economy seems
2:04:24
Speaker 1: to be collapsing, They're going to have to move the
2:04:26
Speaker 1: capital because of lack of water. Of course, the sanctions,
2:04:29
Speaker 1: international pressure. I'm just where are they going to continue
2:04:32
Speaker 1: to get their hardware?
2:04:34
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, that listen, as long as there's money involved
2:04:36
Speaker 9: and the hatred of Israel, that weapons will be found,
2:04:40
Speaker 9: There'll be there's ways they can get smuggled in. You
2:04:43
Speaker 9: just can't stop everything, and people are motivated, they will find.
2:04:47
Speaker 10: A way to get things done.
2:04:48
Speaker 9: So, uh, there's enough people that hate Israel around the world,
2:04:53
Speaker 9: and there's there's money and weapons are going to find
2:04:55
Speaker 9: their way in there one way or the other.
2:04:57
Speaker 1: Point point while taking understood, just needed to be on
2:04:59
Speaker 1: the record on that real quick. Here Manuel Macrone planning
2:05:02
Speaker 1: on sending one hundred fighter jets to Zelenski over the
2:05:04
Speaker 1: next ten years. Ukrainians still demanding more Tomahawks. That this
2:05:09
Speaker 1: is the same conversation you haven't heaven for weeks, Daniel Davis.
2:05:12
Speaker 1: Is ain't gonna help anything, is it?
2:05:15
Speaker 9: No, it is And I actually made that point on
2:05:17
Speaker 9: my show this week already that this is an extension
2:05:21
Speaker 9: of the things that we're doing that don't help because
2:05:24
Speaker 9: we've had the you know, it's gonna be the attackings,
2:05:27
Speaker 9: the long range, and it was gonna be the storm shadow,
2:05:29
Speaker 9: then it was gonna be the F sixteen's that's what
2:05:31
Speaker 9: was good, and none of them made any difference here
2:05:33
Speaker 9: and now talking about just a different kind of jet,
2:05:36
Speaker 9: that's not the problem. That's not where Israel, that's not
2:05:41
Speaker 9: where the Ukraine side's problems are.
2:05:43
Speaker 8: In fact, it was a great piece on I think it.
2:05:46
Speaker 9: Was last Friday by Julian Rupke, a German journalist who's
2:05:51
Speaker 9: been covering this war from the beginning, one of the best,
2:05:53
Speaker 9: most accurate, definitely pro Ukraine, but he's also accurate in
2:05:57
Speaker 9: most of his stuff, and he had a piece where
2:05:59
Speaker 9: he just, let's call this what it is.
2:06:02
Speaker 10: Ukraine is on a path to a strategic defeat.
2:06:04
Speaker 9: They will not win if they keep going in they
2:06:06
Speaker 9: self delusion, both Ukraine government and their military and the
2:06:10
Speaker 9: Western people. And one of the things he pointed out
2:06:13
Speaker 9: was you're not doing the things that actually matter on
2:06:15
Speaker 9: the battlefield. He said, send in like millions of drones,
2:06:19
Speaker 9: not these big high tech weapons systems. That that's not
2:06:22
Speaker 9: where the fots won are lost on the battlefield. It's
2:06:24
Speaker 9: with the drone situation, and he said, Russia has a
2:06:27
Speaker 9: huge advantage and it's growing, and we're we're tinkering around
2:06:30
Speaker 9: with jets over ten years. I know, come on, man,
2:06:34
Speaker 9: that's humiliating and it's embarrassing, and it's just helping for
2:06:38
Speaker 9: Ukraine to lose.
2:06:39
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I laugh over that point, but that's I
2:06:41
Speaker 1: really literally laugh when I saw that over ten years,
2:06:44
Speaker 1: because it goes back to the reality of it's every
2:06:47
Speaker 1: missile system there is. There's a finite amount in a
2:06:49
Speaker 1: limited number of places they can go in the world,
2:06:51
Speaker 1: and a seemingly unlimited demand for all this hardware.
2:06:54
Speaker 9: You know, so and you know you know how long
2:06:56
Speaker 9: it's going to take to train these pilots up. You
2:06:59
Speaker 9: remember when we all authorized the F sixteens, when Biden did,
2:07:02
Speaker 9: it was like somewhere around nine months or maybe even
2:07:04
Speaker 9: longer before they could get their pilots trained up on
2:07:06
Speaker 9: the F sixteen. Now you've got to start a whole
2:07:08
Speaker 9: new one. Unless something's been going on behind the scenes
2:07:11
Speaker 9: that we don't know about. You're talking about multiple months
2:07:14
Speaker 9: just to get them to get in the cockpit effectively
2:07:16
Speaker 9: and then operate the weapons systems there.
2:07:18
Speaker 10: So this is just ridiculous in.
2:07:20
Speaker 1: My view, cold harsh reality, as we always expect from
2:07:23
Speaker 1: Daniel Davis, retiling Colonel Daniel Davis. Find him where you
2:07:26
Speaker 1: find your podcast, look for the Daniel Davis Deep Dive
2:07:29
Speaker 1: Love the conversation. Someday we're gonna have some great positive
2:07:33
Speaker 1: news toward peace, Daniel, and I'm waiting for that day. Yeah,
2:07:35
Speaker 1: wait for it next Tuesday maybe, ed. We'll keep our
2:07:38
Speaker 1: fingers crossed. Much love, Brother Will Helly. Eight week My Friend,

2:12:38
Speaker 1: a lifetime, lifetime friend. I went on vacation with Dodd
2:12:41
Speaker 1: when I was about six years old and his dad
2:12:43
Speaker 1: was my pediatrician. When friends ever since that's that's hilarious.
2:12:46
Speaker 1: You got a connection with him eight forty six. Right now,
2:12:49
Speaker 1: folks stick around. Coming up next, we're gonna hear from
2:12:51
Speaker 1: cover since he's Dan Roulman. Are John Roman rather about
2:12:54
Speaker 1: better way to get medical insurance? It's that time of year.
2:12:57
Speaker 1: We'll give you some helpful tips. Coming up next. Krc
2:13:03
Speaker 1: hey forty nine, I think about ARCD talk station. Let's
2:13:05
Speaker 1: ask an expert. What a better time to have John
2:13:08
Speaker 1: Roman from cover since he in the studio to talk about, well,
2:13:11
Speaker 1: premium shock. It's open rollment time and apparently John, the
2:13:16
Speaker 1: folks reaching out to you are getting blown away at
2:13:20
Speaker 1: the premium increases. Welcome back, my friend, good at talking
2:13:23
Speaker 1: him pass along some great advice. We'll do a speed
2:13:25
Speaker 1: round here on what we need to help my listeners with.
2:13:27
Speaker 13: Absolutely. I mean, you hit the nail on the head, Brian.
2:13:29
Speaker 13: I mean right now, the scariest thing for anyone purchasing
2:13:33
Speaker 13: their own health insurance is if you're on a marketplace plan,
2:13:36
Speaker 13: you have to be checking your premiums for twenty twenty six.
2:13:39
Speaker 13: You have to know that the fact that the tax
2:13:41
Speaker 13: credits for a lot of Americans is going are going away.
2:13:46
Speaker 13: You know, we've been helping a lot of of course
2:13:48
Speaker 13: your listeners that we we've marked with you guys for
2:13:50
Speaker 13: years now. But the biggest thing is we have people
2:13:53
Speaker 13: calling in Brian and we're talking about insurance premiums going
2:13:56
Speaker 13: from you know, six seven hundred bucks a month to
2:14:00
Speaker 13: two thousand and twenty four hundred. I mean, people are
2:14:04
Speaker 13: losing money right now, twenty twenty four hundred dollars monthly.
2:14:08
Speaker 1: And that is plus or plus the out of pocket
2:14:12
Speaker 1: of ten thousand and five hundred.
2:14:14
Speaker 13: Ten thousand, six hundred per person. You know, you know,
2:14:18
Speaker 13: twenty one thousand, two hundred for a family on a
2:14:22
Speaker 13: marketplace this year plus two thousand a month in premium
2:14:24
Speaker 13: plus two thousand that's not insurance. Now it's and again
2:14:29
Speaker 13: is this this doesn't affect everyone. I mean they're staying
2:14:32
Speaker 13: in Obamacare. They're affecting three to four million people this
2:14:35
Speaker 13: year that are losing tax credits. So we're seeing so
2:14:37
Speaker 13: many people that will start making a tough decision to
2:14:40
Speaker 13: go without insurance. But that's because they don't know about
2:14:43
Speaker 13: what you do. They don't know what we do a
2:14:44
Speaker 13: cover sinci.
2:14:45
Speaker 1: You know, I had a conversation with Brian James on Money,
2:14:47
Speaker 1: Money about you the other day. I said, listen, there's
2:14:49
Speaker 1: a whole world of private insurance out there. You don't
2:14:51
Speaker 1: need to go to Obamacare. You get John the team
2:14:53
Speaker 1: to analyze where you are and look at one of
2:14:55
Speaker 1: the different options out there, come up with something that's
2:14:57
Speaker 1: affordable for you but also actually provides you medical insurance
2:15:01
Speaker 1: coverage for your claims. Well, you didn't have a fituciary
2:15:05
Speaker 1: obligation like but he has effectually essentially a fiduciary obligation because,
2:15:09
Speaker 1: I mean, you know your business model. You're trying to
2:15:11
Speaker 1: help people get the best possible product out there for
2:15:13
Speaker 1: the least amount of money. I mean, I don't anyway,
2:15:18
Speaker 1: the fact that the private market exists. Many people don't know.
2:15:21
Speaker 1: So someone's out there, you know, having to change their
2:15:24
Speaker 1: underwear because they just found out they got a two
2:15:25
Speaker 1: thousand dollars insurance payment. There's a world of insurance opportunities
2:15:30
Speaker 1: beyond Obamacare. Oh absolutely.
2:15:33
Speaker 13: I mean, they're driving this home to us, right, They're
2:15:35
Speaker 13: shoving this product down our throat, and most Americans don't
2:15:39
Speaker 13: need to be there. Yeah, if your income's low enough,
2:15:41
Speaker 13: I mean, you can qualify for a tax credit, pick
2:15:44
Speaker 13: it up. But you know the restrictions on this, I
2:15:46
Speaker 13: mean the fact that if you're buying a plan here
2:15:48
Speaker 13: in Cincinnati, Brian, you can't even go to Dayton and
2:15:52
Speaker 13: get treatment the other component, right, you know, And is
2:15:55
Speaker 13: that worth the price that you're gonna pay for a
2:15:58
Speaker 13: luxury vehicle like Ibsolutely not, I mean, and then twenty
2:16:01
Speaker 13: thousand dollars to use it, So it doesn't it doesn't
2:16:04
Speaker 13: make sense.
2:16:05
Speaker 1: Tell of a luxury vehicle it is dollars.
2:16:09
Speaker 13: And then twenty thousand dollars to take it out, all right,
2:16:12
Speaker 13: So it doesn't make sense to so many listeners, and
2:16:15
Speaker 13: that's why they have to shop the private market. And
2:16:18
Speaker 13: that's a big proponent of what we do is help
2:16:20
Speaker 13: every single person, whatever their situation is. Hey, if it
2:16:23
Speaker 13: makes sense to stay on the marketplace, we're going to
2:16:25
Speaker 13: leave you there. But more than often than not, it's
2:16:27
Speaker 13: showing you the alternatives. And guys, these are forty to
2:16:29
Speaker 13: sixty percent cheaper than what's going on right now.
2:16:32
Speaker 1: Right and you know this is asked the expert. It's
2:16:35
Speaker 1: a coversinsey dot com. Reach out fill the format online
2:16:38
Speaker 1: to reach him, or call five one three eight hundred
2:16:41
Speaker 1: call five one three eight hundred two two five five.
2:16:43
Speaker 1: That'll get that done. But what I mean, what are
2:16:46
Speaker 1: the biggest concerns right now for someone sitting out there
2:16:48
Speaker 1: contemplating their employer plan or getting ready to go on medicare?
2:16:51
Speaker 1: What what are the giant concerns you have for them
2:16:54
Speaker 1: that if you've got to pick a couple out of
2:16:55
Speaker 1: the air that you need to warn my listeners about.
2:16:58
Speaker 13: I mean another one with with medicare, we're still in
2:17:01
Speaker 13: that open enrollment right now, so for twenty twenty six,
2:17:04
Speaker 13: you have to make sure your plan is credible if
2:17:06
Speaker 13: you're over sixty five, all right. Being that way, there's
2:17:10
Speaker 13: a certain thresholds of income and how the how everything's
2:17:14
Speaker 13: populated as far as you're out of pocket expenses for Medicare.
2:17:18
Speaker 13: If you are not in that segment where your income
2:17:20
Speaker 13: is considered I mean sorry, your plan is considered creditable.
2:17:24
Speaker 13: You could be faced with penalties moving forward, which is,
2:17:28
Speaker 13: you know, ten percent a year in your Medicare Part
2:17:29
Speaker 13: B premiums and one percent a month on your Part
2:17:32
Speaker 13: D premiums, and those penalties last year the rest of
2:17:34
Speaker 13: your life. So make sure your plan is credible for
2:17:36
Speaker 13: twenty twenty six. And if it's not, look at Medicare.
2:17:39
Speaker 13: I mean a lot of people, to be honest with you,
2:17:41
Speaker 13: when I help them look at that retirement side and
2:17:43
Speaker 13: opting to stay on Medicare, I mean, you know, staying
2:17:45
Speaker 13: around their group health with work, We're going to Medicare.
2:17:48
Speaker 13: Medicare actually is cheaper, and on top of that, the
2:17:51
Speaker 13: coverage can be a lot better than where you're at
2:17:53
Speaker 13: right now. You group mentioned that before. I just always
2:17:55
Speaker 13: find that hard to believe. That's a big thing. And
2:17:58
Speaker 13: then of course, you know, look at those individual We
2:18:00
Speaker 13: have some of your listeners that are retiring early. They're
2:18:03
Speaker 13: in their sixties or late fifties, and they're going, Hey, John,
2:18:05
Speaker 13: I'm calling you because I want to see if I
2:18:07
Speaker 13: can retire, give us a call.
2:18:08
Speaker 1: We can show you what those options look like.
2:18:10
Speaker 13: You'd be surprised how many people have gone to retirement
2:18:13
Speaker 13: now that we've been able to help because we show
2:18:15
Speaker 13: them what that transition looks like. They come from group
2:18:18
Speaker 13: insurance and help them bridge that gap between now and medicare.
2:18:21
Speaker 1: And how much does it cost for my listeners to
2:18:23
Speaker 1: take advantage of the services you're offering, John, I guess.
2:18:26
Speaker 13: You know consideringly. We're not a fiduciary, but we operate
2:18:28
Speaker 13: like that, Brian, And at our costs are zero. We
